Surfboard tails have a direct impact on key surfing moments such as acceleration, control, maneuverability, drive, speed, stability, hold, and release. Get to know the basic tail designs. There are six fundamental surfboard tail shapes and seven hybrid or alternative designs. The most common shapes are the squash tail, the square tail, the pin tail, the round tail, the swallow tail and the asymmetrical tail. The tail of a surfboard has a massive impact on the way we ride a wave. Each shape will behave differently when you take off on a wave, bottom turn, accelerate down the line, and control the surfboard on the face of the wave.
