A high perfomance board for extremely sensitive surfing. The Swallow tail has the most tail area of all designs. It has good leverage for sharper turns and is a great small wave radical combination. It is great for beach breaks and snapping in the pocket. When you have low rails in hollow, sucky surf you get a lot of responsiveness.
Sucky waves are it s forte.
You can draw cleaner lines and snap harder in the pocket and it holds cutties just a little bit longer on rail. Turns really tight in the bowl where a board with boxy rails would struggle. In between a low and a mid rail it allows more bite while not being as corky as a mid rail. A great choice when looking for extra performance but not as critical as a low rail. Very popular for waves with a little bit of power.
