Thought I would share his response below. Arc. Just a little more area back there, helps with planing at low speed. subtle vee exist through the tail that should create a smal high pressure between the fins and centralise the feeling of the quads. Built to roll around in the pocket and have that ball bearing feeling. Swallow. Straighter rail line through the tail, more Glide and flow , sort of load up and release feel. Water exits earlier through the tail so has a shorter board feel. Aesthetics are a lot of it, bottom curve remains super similar and overall outline only differs in width/length. Click to expand... we landed on the arc to draw the curve out deeper and i cant say that I feel a huge diff but this one overall has a bit more tuning toward pocket surfing thats already paid off in joy.
