Från Surfline.com :
a) The SQUARETAIL. Water moves straight off the rail line, which is cut off, boom, just like that. It also moves abruptly straight off the square edge behind the back fin. The squaretail gets rid of a lot of water very quickly, which makes it a very fast tail shape; but since the water’s all dumping off a straight edge with no modulation of the flow, the squaretail tends to turn awkwardly in “jumps” from rail to rail, with little subtlety in between. The squaretail also permits a wider tail, preserving volume well behind the forward fins, which helps flotation. WK believes this shape suits a beginner surfer or one who’s experimenting with short, wide boards for small waves.
b) The SQUASHTAIL. This is an adapted squaretail, with some of the benefits of quick release and width for flotation, but the rounded curves off the rails provide some subtle modulation in turns. A “tradeoff” tail, well suited to a wide range of surfers in most waves between two and eight feet.
c) The PINTAIL, or round pin. Water moves off the tail and rails in a diffuse fashion, in a wide range of angles. Since it has a lot of options in that nice curve toward the final pin, the water takes more time to break free. Thus the pintail doesn’t have the raw acceleration of a square or squashtail, but what it lacks in off-the-mark speed it gains immensely in control and subtlety of turning angles, and the generally narrower immediate tail area fits better into barrels than either square or squash. A common tail shape among elite pros, particularly in surf over six feet.
d) The SWALLOWTAIL. Referred to as a “double pin” by at least one of its pioneers (Bob McTavish), the swallow blends a square’s instant rail fall-off with some of the pin’s tube-fitting and turning subtlety. Swallows release concave bottoms better than most other tail shapes and also allow a wider tail shape, which makes ’em popular among some high performance surfers in the nitro-small-wave hotdogger range.
e) The DIAMOND is a largely superseded attempt to soften the square’s hard edges and preserve some of its release speed. Its job is now done more effectively by the SQUASH.

Sergio på Manaloha har varit ok när jag hyrt av honom.
Inte lika bra försäkringar som Frank men haft tur de gånger jag hyrt 🙂 -
1.6m knöl enligt proggarna. Det kom några brösthöga på udden men där var det lite mycket vågsurfare och betydligt lättare vind. Körde lite närmare allmänningen istället så man kunde komma med fart och göra något av skvättarna.
@masse – en sväng? Jag fick ju slita bort grejjorna från dig :wink::wink:

Då kan man sova igen, en vecka eller så. Dusty Payne från Maui tog hem segern i årets första Triple Crown. Många fina vågor surfades, superimponerande.
Riktigt grymt underhållning! Äntligen sömn igen!!
