There’s a bit of blur between the divisions of tail designs. You could have a wider rounded squash, or a rounded squash that could possibly look like a rounded pin. Usually a squash tail is a bit wider with a flatter area like in the pics above. Do you have a picture of your board?

I am confused with the names. What is the difference between a Roundpin Tail and a rounded Squashtail? I think I have a rounded Squashtail on my 6.3 shortboard, but actually it looks also very similar to the rounded Pintail on this site? Are these names synonyms for the same Taildesign?

Really informative. i always thought it was the other way around. i thought pintails were looser and square were more stable.
