Most complete rail explanation I've encountered so far! Very well done 👍🤙
I always loved the 80’s rails the best. Lots of edge. Keeps the speed up through the turns. Less drag.
best explanation ever
👊 appreciated, always wondered why certain shapes worked better for me than others
Great vlog !! Very helpful ! Yew
Very good explanation about non obvious topic.
Yeh rails get a bit forgotten in the grand scheme of things don't they haha. Had to show them the love they deserve. Rails tie a lot of the boards design together. You ain't surfing If you're not on rail. Cheers for watching 🤙🤙
Cool explanation!
quite useful . thanks a lot for that
No worries! Thanks for watching 🙂
Cool
Cool video, question.
How do you about a board like the black beauty that has a hard edge through the whole board but it’s designed to be a step up. Does that rail line not encourage hold and speed over turn ability?
Or was that a failed design as no one makes boards like that anymore.
I know Maurice Cole still makes some boards like that.
Or a greenough edge board.
they couple it with a single concave, which negates it a little through the turn. meaning you get less board engaged whilst on rail. i like that idea on diskier shapes in weaker waves. not personally a fan as a step up, but there isnt really a wrong answer to making a board, just wrong situations. A good board tends to feel good in the most normal of situations and a great board feels good in all situations... or something like that.
the main problem of thin rails are domed decks which reduces the flotation of the board in hard turns, which is compensated by pushing on legs. Round rails with hard edges allows narroewer turns on the front foot without with centrifugal acceleration instead of surface reaction, less spray and more speed. Georges Greenough got it all
