**Warning: Gear Nerd post** In my old age, nose and tail length are most important to me, more than any other specs. If a tail is under 6.5 it's a non starter. It goes back in the deck rack. 6.5 is the minimum. My favorite shape, bar none, is the 8.125 Generator shape Isle uses. I am going back to it after this Quasi is done. The tail is 6.6ish and perfectly shaped for tailslides. I can only do 3 tricks, one of which is tailside.
The tail on Crail's G027 is a whopping 6.75. Tailsliders dream.
