The good thing about mates who ride your boards is that they are frank and honest. My classic shape, while had a glide and worked well, it was asked if there was some way to paddle faster, yet turn better. Also, for the serious long boarder, a Mini-mal that hooked up better.
so we now have a modern classic. added thickness through the foil, further forward. A longer rather than deeper concave (Thanks to Dean Geraghty of Nev and Town & Country for his advice on this). More tail lift and a soft rail that transitions to a hard rail later down the board. I have stuck with my proven flat areas and width. The mini-mal has a round pin tail. This minimizes the surface area of the tail and complements the tail V, giving greater control. The result is a fast board that goes well.
The classic longboard employs the same as above but with a smoother profile, yet a flatter bottom for more speed on those 2 foot summer days. The classic long board has returned to the traditional squashtail. This helps on rubbish days as the larger surface promotes speed. Now though it has a continuous curve that provides some of the drive of the pintail yet having extra lift to make the board turn better.
