The Tail 🍑
The back end of the board. The tail shape and width determine how the board releases water, how it turns, and how much "hold" it has in steep waves.
Squash Tail
The All-Rounder
The most common tail on performance boards. The square edges allow water to release quickly for snappy turns, while the width provides lift in slower sections.
VersatilePin / Round Pin
The Barrel Hunter
Narrow and curved. This tail sinks into the water, providing maximum hold and control in hollow or powerful waves. It draws smooth, long lines rather than snappy turns.
Control HoldSwallow Tail
Speed & Bite
Like two pin tails connected. The V-shape allows for bite in turns, while the wider outline generates speed in small waves. Common on fishes and small-wave performance boards.
SpeedRound Tail
Smooth Operator
A middle ground between squash and pin. It offers smoother, more continuous turns than a squash tail and holds better in the pocket.
