6. Upper Rail Profile. Gromzer’s rails are like
a Volvo, i.e. boxy but good. Rails effectively blend the top of the
board into the bottom and many argue that the upper rail area largely
represents a cosmetic exercise. Gromzer’s has a very slightly
domed deck, which carries the thickness of the board out to the rail
line to provide additional volume/flotation for facility in smaller
surf. A fuller rail profile of this sort may compromise rail sensitivity,
although such compromise should be mitigated by the fact that the board
is fairly thin overall. Also, one should bear in mind that one man’s
‘sensitivity’ is another man’s ‘twitchy-ness.’
ok, you can stop twitching now. stop twitching! jeeze.
