Types of Tails
Round Pin Tail
- Moves the "sweet spot" slightly farther ahead on the board, in front of the fin cluster.
- Offers a different release & hold for deep carves and more drawn out turns
- Shortens the "effective rail line" and with respect to board length, resulting in less area on the tail to penetrate the wave face so that you can actually sink a section of tail deeper than other templates.
Thumb Tail
- Softens the pivot points on the end of the rail line while keeping a smooth flow like a round pin without taking away the tail width
Squash Tail
- Top to bottom surfing
- Free the tail on all your turns
- HIt the lip and more while you rip it down the line.
Bat Tail
- Offers a more pivotal, snappy feel
- Loosens up the board by having the rail line end shorter
- Relative to other tails, the bat is wider at the block, allowing the rear foot to move further back in to the fin cluster.
- Combines the swallow tail feel but with more stability
Diamond Tail
- Offers an aesthetic alternative to the bat tail while keeping the same performance features
Swallow Tail
- Quick, loose and responsive for snappy turns off the top
- For similar results with a more distinctive look, try our Moon tail
Baby Swallow Tail
- Quick, loose and responsive for snappy turns off the top
- Baby swallow tail is a reduced version primarily used on big wave boards
Deep Swallow Tail
- Quick, loose and responsive for snappy turns off the top
- For similar results with a more distinctive look, try our Moon tail
Moon Tail
- With performance features similar to the swallow tail, the Moon adds a much more distinctive look.
Winged Tail
- Pulls in the outline at the trailing edge of the fins as a way to break the water along the rail line.
- Adds a snappier and more pivotal turning characteristic as opposed to a full rail turn.
