Rails

When designing rails I suggest that your design should stick to the three main rail configurations - 50/50, 55/45, 60/40. Rails with a ratio above or below these are available however the ratio you choose depends more on your size and weight than most other factors. The smaller (50/50) the rail percentage the easier it will contact the waves face. However if you are fairly heavy this could cause the board to bog down as too much of the board will go into the waves face so a larger (60/40) rail percentage is suggested.
