How would this round nose fish surf?

I'm quite happy on my 9'4 longboard (I need all the paddle power I can get lol) and not in the market for another board, but was just googling around, curious about other shapes, and came across this fish with a very rounded nose. Curious for thoughts on how something like this would surf and paddle?

Would surf great and paddle fine under the right person. Fishes like to be "On Rail" most of the time. The round nose is interesting but I'd rather it be more pulled in and with a beak / eagle nose. ( and less flip on the nose )

I think the round nose helps your padding when you are catching a wave . This allows a shorter board to catch waves similarly to slightly longer boards. When you are riding it mostly the nose is out of the water so the only difference would be more weight to swing around however you probably won’t notice unless you are an expert level surfer
