Tail shapes on 09 boards

Round Tail - This is a smoother continuation of the board’s contour, coming to a rounded end. The increased surface area helps give the board a bit more lift in the rear and allows for a looser, more turnable board.  A round tail will provide more release off the top of a wave than a squash or diamond, however it makes square turns off the bottom or mid face a bit more difficult without a corner to work with, such as exists on a squash or diamond tail. Round tails help direct the water around the end of the board and provide more stability .

Swallow Tail - The swallow tail is related to the squash tail in that it provides more surface area from rail to rail, allowing for planing speed and lift. The tail of the board curves down to two points as in a squash, but the area between those points is decreased by a vee cutout resulting in two soft points. The decreased area between the corners and more pronounced points give the board more “bite” and control in critical maneuvers, as well as when going into and out of turns. The two points on the swallow tail act sort of like dual miniature round point tails, but without the pronounced “tracking” that a pin or rounded pin provides. The swallow tail is generally good for surfers who want a board that’s going to stick during deep carves. Baby Swallow tail boards will be 1.5" shorter bacause we modify a roundtail blank.

Diamond Tail - The original intent of the diamond tail was to soften up the square tail but keep some of its speed. This tail is for rail to rail maneuvers and quick slashing.
