Surfing Waves

OK I've been surfing my whole life but still aren't familiar with a lot of terms used.....so I wanted to start a thread to clear some things up

When buying a "scaled up" surfboard, what does that mean? That you should get it in a size bigger than your standard shortboard or shorter.....same question with a scaled down board...for example, the S-Winger by Stewart is described as a scaled up board. Would you get a bigger or smaller S-Winger as compared to your average shortboard?

50/50 and 60/40 rails....what are they?

"Quiver" I have read this a lot and have no idea what this is?

Anyone else wanna add to the list go ahead!

I'll clear up one term for you here QUIVER= your collection of boards to be able change to suit conditions.
Like archery a quiver holds all your arrows.
Might be some fun here, as Aussies have some different names for things. i.e. legrope for leash

Lol I see.....looking back on the context of where I kept reading that it now makes sense....

Found this:

https://surfing-waves.com/surf_talk.htm

but still doen't answer my first two questions

ZmannR2 Uncle Jaffa is on the job and is going to write a little info on boards and their parts and what he thinks they do for your surfing a lot of the answers particularly about the 50/50 60/40 rails is already here on site and I am only repeating what Surfing wave said try this link, https://surfing-waves.com/board/rails.htm
Edited after the fact :I went to the information part of the site again and really I don't need to write more, there is adequate information about boards there. However if other posters want more information then I'll write.

Bring on the surfing terminology.
