These thick-ish tail DCs look wrong - work unreal. The extra buoyancy back there allows them to maintain speed through carves because the tail doesn't sink and bog. It gives you something to push against with your back foot. It's one of the reasons why these boards are so fast - IMO.
Now
I'm sounding like a DC salesman.
Might work in smaller waves not sure on solid stuff makes it harder to dig in on the bottom turn when at warp factor 9

one of the reasons why i went with a more blocker rail was because my other thinner rail dc blogged a bit and got lost a bit in foam.might make a point of saying when it came of the machine i asked for the tail to be reduced a bit more, hence the tail rails ended up a square-ish and it did make me a little edgey. no problem so far. also, in fact it is thinner than the standard tail, but looks thicker because of the squareness. there is strong line of thinking that the tail's should be thin, but dale pointed out, most of the shortboard pro's have a block railed tail's on their boards
ps out of all the dc 8 10 i have tried, this is the most stable. the deck is pretty flat and that the way i like em
