Can a longboard with low entry rocker but high nose noseride well?

Maybe someone here knows what the deal on this is: Maybe 10 years ago I remember seeing a ongboards shaped for girls with a high nose rocker and always wondered if it was because they’re not as strong at paddling and it sometimes takes them an extra stroke or two to get into the wave, thus increasing the drama factor for their transitions.   Anyone here know what I’m talking about or was I just seeing HPLBs?
