Just drawing up a new sup foil board on Shape3d. My current one is 6'0 x 26" and 94 litres with a square nose outline. Looking this time at aroun 5'5 x 27" and 100 litres. Only decision I'm struggling with is nose outline.... cant decide on either square or a more traditional round/pointed nose. A year ago I was dead clear that square was best to get you as short as possible and keep a it of stability. However, there's a trend emerging of Jimmy Lewis and Infinity boards (amongst others) now having traditional nose shape. As far as I know Derek Hama's 4'6" is the shortest SUP foil yet it obviously doesnt need a square nose.

Any thoughts? I'm sure traditional nose shape catches the wind less and has less swing weight but is there anything else I'm overlooking? I'd hate to make a new square nose board only to find Kalama, Sunova, JP and all the custom hawaiian makers all jump ship and make my board betamax overnight
