    By trouble I presume you mean bigger waves? Great finish on the board.

    Not sure about the logic of the diamond to be honest, especially for bigger more critical waves. The diamond tail has very similar characteristics to the squash but a squash tail does it better, very 70's. A round pin would have been a much better fit in my opinion (if i am right in guessing what you will be surfing).

    Never mentioned bigger waves :D

    Board is for waves I don't want to surf the longboard on, for various reasons, one been getting in and out of the water, others been critical takeoffs and shallowness of the water etc

    Never had an issue surfing diamond tails or other tails on those breaks either

    For all the slagging you get, how much have you spent on custom boards in the last say5 years v walking into a shop or buying on line? Fair play of supporting shapers
