In surfing, what tail is good for nose riding?

Question

tail, nose, or whatever else is necessary for nose riding.

Answer 1

The nose design has more impact then the tail design.  However, the best tail design I have found has a slight channel just above the rail line on the top of the tail.  Robert Strickland from Cocoa Beach had a great design that used the channels with a rounded pin.  I also use a Turbo Tunnel Fin that really helps hold the tail down.
