Rail question.
Posted: Mon Jan 31, 2022 9:26 amHello to everyone,
I'm been sitting on the side lines for quite some time, soaking up all of the information on the forum.
I finally decided to join and become part of the community, as I have a question.
A little while back I sold my only two longboards to finance the purchase of a Bing Izzy Rider 9.2 in anticipation of a 3 week surf trip.
Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, everything ran late and it wasn't going to arrive in time for the trip, so in a panic I grabbed a 9.1 1/2 from Ebay only really having time to consider its length.
Trip was great, board was very good considering I didn't have a chance to figure it out before the trip and the Bing arrived within a week of my return, happy days.
The Bing has been a great board for the past few months, but the cheap Ebay board has grown on me and find I'm liking it more and more.
It's a bit of an unknown, an unbranded board that was built in 1990 in St Agnes, I purchased it from the guy it was made for.
My question is, what profile are these rails?
Are they 60/40 tucked or maybe 70/30?
The other boards I own all have 50/50 rails, I’m not performance driven and I’m probably guilty of only considering the length, width and volume of anything I’ve previously bought.
What would this rail gain or lose over a 50/50 rail?
(I've added some additional pictures to give the full specs and overall outline also)
Thanks in advance for any information or experience you can offer.
