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 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.
Great video man. I was recently debating with my friend about hard edges near the tail providing hold along with the outline while making drops but the hard edge also provides a bit of release for the water. Is it, release during turns but hold on the face when making a drop? Thanks brotha🙏
@@dylanweitman1258 well, it's lack of surface area for water to add drag. It's cutting through when on rail, so there are moments of release and hold depending on how 'on rail you are'. off the top release usually comes when you are transitioning from one rail to the other and nothing is penetrating the water, hard edges would accentuate that. Making a drop you tend to ideally be on rail, with hold from your rail line engaged and obviously your fin.
Soft tail edge=slower. Handbrake on. Good for nose riding. Hard edge in tail (and further up.)= faster speed. Less drag. Handbrake off. Think roundhouse cutbacks.
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

Most complete rail explanation I've encountered so far! Very well done 👍🤙
Mostly jibberish
I always loved the 80’s rails the best. Lots of edge. Keeps the speed up through the turns. Less drag.
Very good explanation about non obvious topic.

best explanation ever
Great vlog !! Very helpful ! Yew
👊 appreciated, always wondered why certain shapes worked better for me than others
Cool explanation!
quite useful . thanks a lot for that
No worries! Thanks for watching 🙂

This is so bad😂
