See if this makes sense - I’m talking more like A than B - with a round tip. The nose rocker and the three lines - the middle one would be the bottom rail rocker line, and the bottom line would be the rocker line down the middle.
To me it looks like a lotta V in a pretty pointy nose (A that is, B doesn't look like any surfboard I've ever seen!), sure don't see how you'd add a "round tip" to that spear!
So - what was the question??

Got it - Now I understand what we are talking about dude, thanks a bunch. Now I hope he doesn’t stick it in his eye…
The vee in the nose is completely understandable too/ Thanks for the image!
Here is a broken board I am copying in another project and I think this is what we are getting at as far as nose shape, right? It’s 7’6" x 13.25 N x 21 x 14T and it’s about 2 7/8 thick.
What’s your experience on the tail shape for our setup?
Huck - Just kookin’ w/“Paint” to make a point as it is.
SIO - Maybe narrower in the nose than the photo, w/the 1" radius tip. I’ll have to think more about the tail - my first thought is round pin, but, then again, it always is… Ha! And @ 13" for future all around use.
OK sweet 13" tail

And for a little clarification are you talking the nose “outline” radius or rail radius? I drew this using a 1" diameter piece of tubing, but I am confused.[img_assist|nid=1051288|title=Nose|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=640|height=480]
Sheesh - that outline is not that bad in real life… wow
That little nose curve is what I’m talking about exactly.
Looks like you went with the wide point forward - could be the camera angle. What I’m thinking would be pulling the whole front in by moving the wide point back a couple inches from center.
As I’ve said though… That’s just me.
Looks nice.
OK so regarding wide point -I basically shaped the nose and tail and was waiting to ask you about it. Is it merely a point or should it carry down the length of the board some?
The plan is to set the wide point back 4 inches from center like we talked earlier - And then nose dimension was 13 inches as well?
So Stoked…
