the outback is obviously gonna be a hell of alot more stable... but not quite as quick.. One major benefit of the outback is if you have a truck, you can put it in the bed and not have to buy a rack or deal with putting it on top..The outback is dryer when you launch because it's short enough that leaning back will lift the front so you'll go over the wave more than thru it..landing will be easier as well becuz the longer the yak, the easier it is for the wave to turn it sidewayz and possibly roll ya..

I'm buying an outback as soon as I'm out of debt :x
