Love the video.  Nice surfing performance!
What seat height was yours set at?  I ask because I'm shopping for an Outback and am very concerned that the seat can't be adjusted low enough to be comparable to my old 2004 Outback.  High center of gravity is a safety hazard that I won't tolerate.

I can't speak to the Outback, but I had a 2014 (old seat) Oasis and now I have a 2015 (new seat) Oasis, and the seat in the lowest position is every bit as low (perhaps lower) than the old seat. I think that one factor in pictures is that with the hard back seat is that some people tend to sit up a little straighter, which makes them appear higher up in relation to the seat pan, but that's a choice (you can recline it).

Lancer jigs are very fishy, but the hooks absolutely SUCK in my opinion.  If they would use something a bit more substantial and rust resistant I would buy them.  For now, I just run them if I win them, or get them in a goody bag.

Alternate opinions: if you're bending the hook your drag is too tight. If it happens at the boat where the fish can get leverage against your hull, well, that's fishin' and I doubt a stiffer hook would have helped, but maybe (I'm guessing that would have just lead to a popped hook or broken line). Some guys like the option that when you snag up you can usually pull it out if you have to. And rust resistance is good for fisherman but bad for fish.

Don't get me wrong: I wouldn't mind if the hooks were a bit stiffer too, but it's tradeoffs, not design flaws, IMO.
