  • 01.28.2025

There is a lot to consider when ordering your next board: Dimensions; Outline; Rocker and Bottom Contours; Fin Set-up; Construction Materials (Spine-Tek, ECT, PU/PE); Glassing Schedule, etc. And finally, one of the features that can really pull your next board together is the tail shape.

Britt Merrick explains how you should approach making that call.
