As far as the 7’6 goes, it will whip through a turn and go more top to bottom than I think the 8’ would but it’s still quite a cruisey surf. It’s still essentially a detuned hull. Like I said in here earlier, it’s still a board that has a hull feel and draws hull style lines, it’s just less weird to cutback than a lidddle What I do think losing the 6” does ( for me anyway ) is to allow me to mentally start thinking about the lines I’m going to draw in a slightly more vertical fashion ( climbing and dropping ) and move away from a logger single fin bottom turn and scamper forward into trim kind of approach. It also means you don’t need to move forward and backward so much between a trim and turning position. I think you are right about the rails to a point - I have noticed that on a Shoulder high wave when you’re hauling down the line it can be difficult to keep the rail in the water enough for an aggressive cutback compared to other mid length boards with thinner rails |
