I’m shaping a 9-8S into a 9-6 by 23.5 wide by 3.25 I want a loose forgiving rail and want to retain maximum floatation. And recommendations on rail shape (i.e. 50/50 60/40) and Where should I place my marks for the rail band (i.e., how far up from the bottom and how far in from the edge to the deck. Thanks for any help Craig

50/50rails are definetely looser, but they won’t hold in as well when the wave gets steep. I like them in strong mushy surf, like Queens on Waikiki.
