Rounded diamond tail?

Post by Kulharin » Thu Aug 25, 2016 7:59 am

Why is this such an uncommon tail shape?

It seems like it would be a sweet middle ground between a Squash Tail and Rounded Tail?

Picture?

I like diamond tails on midlengths but don't know what a rounded one would look like

Well my understanding is that it shortens the rail length, so I would go for a clean break via a sharp direction change rather than a smooth curve which will encourage the water to wrap a bit more.

But I don't know shit.

Not sure if I want to go for a rounded squash or rounded diamond on my 6'10 quad.

In another decade or so, Canada will discover "leg ropes"
Sorry Kulharin, it's what we do.

Where do you surf in BC Kulharin? Gotta admire the dedication of Canadian surfers.
