I am going to buy a new fish in the next few weeks. I am considering a Hobie circa '71, mainly because I can get a new one for about 390 sanded with wooded keels or 440 if I opt for tints and polish. I would love to get a classic fish shaped by Rich Pavel but its a little out of my price range. I noticed that the Hobie fish has a shallower cut in the tail than the Pavel fish, how does the cut of the tail affect the way the board rides? Thanks for your help in advance.
