outback =
stable
decent deck space
nice storage
lighter
better steering
watch out for high surf (but manageable)
PA 12 =
very stable (stand up and pee)
awesome deck space
plenty of storage
heavy (i tend to carry more than i need)
steering sucks
dont even think about going out in large surf.
the only time i have rolled going out is in the 12.
at times for a quick session, i wish i still had my outback but love the 12's comfort for longer sessions
