I've seen a lot of loggers in the water and on screen,from what I've noticed most have a square tail.Can someone explain why?

Surely a pin tail would give it a bit of life?

Enter, the Occasional Pin!

Square Tail Logs are dedicated small waves boards aren't they?

"That's just your Oklahoma attitude"

I think it has to do with more area in the tail, so it will trap and hold better whilst nose riding..

Square tails tend to stall and turn whereas a pin will tend to turn in an arc, the square tail if stepped on hard will stall and turn, which is good if you want to stall and get back up to the nose.

Maybe... Possibly, no idea, just of the top of my head...

I once heard someone say the drop knee turn was never about style it was how you got those old heavy square tails to turn, where as the hard rail all rounder or HP surf better when turned like a shortie IMO..

^^^^^pretty right from what i understand... it also helps the tail hold more water(being sucked into the wave) which allows for better nose rides

I'd be surprised if you didn't know square tail holds better for nose riding mac photo of loggers east coast style
