Diamond Tail Quads

I've been getting a lot of requests for diamond tail quads from folks who really like my round pin quads but wanted a bit more edge through to the tail. The diamond tail template extends parallel effective edge much like the template of a fish but without the reduced tail surface area of a swallowtail. This results in a bit more speed as there's more tail surface area. I've pulled in the template a bit compared to the fish template to make up for the added surface area, which makes for a more performance-oriented template.

5'11" x 19.5" x 2-3/8"
coke-bottle blue resin tint + polish
tapered basswood stringer
bamboo AK4 fins

    Nice outline. One of my favorite boards is a 5 fin diamond tail from Malcom. Keep up the great work.
