daTextBox=<b>The Deck</b>
Generally flat, higher performance boards will be domed to decrease volume and create a tapered (thinner) rail on the edge. 

<b>Rails</b>
Thicker rails provide stability. Tapered rails allow you to sink the rail into the water when turning for better performance.

<b>Volume</b>
More volume means more buoyancy, but how the volume is distributed defines the stability of a board. High volume boards with significant surface area are the most stable boards. 

<b>The Tail</b>
When riding waves, SUP surfers will move 
to the tail to pivot and turn. The thickness, 
shape and edge on the tail define 
how easy the board turns.
