Any opinions on pros/cons of round tail shape for a longboard to be used by an ordinary geezer on medium/small point break?

Hi Rob,

Generally speaking, a rounder tail will be good for speed, especially on small/medium conditions. More narrow tails provide more control when the surf gets bigger.

Did you have a surfboard model in particular? It’s hard to give more precise advice otherwise haha.

Cheers,
