Is it a crime that I've got no squash tail boards in the quiver: swallow tails[my favorite] , round tail, pin tail.
Thinking of adding a squash and eyeballing an OTR Rusty What? for an upcoming trip, but the quiver decisions are already making me mental.

Thoughts...

I don’t have one. Closest thing I have to a “normal” shortboard is a Ghost.

Been eyeballing CI’s Happy Erectile Disfunction for awhile now but just can’t get inspired to yolo one.

I have got one, I think. 6’1 phantom, thruster only. It’s good but not a fave. It’s on the chopping block because the P2 (swallowtail) does everything I hoped it would do.
Otherwise all swallowtails, round pins, double diamond, asyms, rounded diamond (Plasmic), wide square (minisim), and an odd 3-prong fang tail (Tomo X-wing).

Not a crime at all. Everyone clicks with something different. I’ve always preferred some variation of a swallowtail

you should get the SD RT instead:jamon:

I like a squash tail if i want the tail to stay out of the water a little bit more

How many people are unloading boards because of this? I am...

I've been on a swallow tail kick lately and have gotten comfortable on them, but I do still regret getting rid of my xtr Shadow. Some point, i'll be back
