Definition : Rail

Definition: Rails are the side edges of a surfboard. Their shape and refinement play a crucial role in maneuverability and the way the board grips the water.

They can be round for greater stability and forgiveness of errors. More refined "pinched" rails will be more useful for more agile surfers, with better grip and greater manoeuvrability.

Born in the hustle and bustle of Paris, Samuel Rosemain first explored the city on his skateboard. His life changed at the age of 13, when he moved to Martinique.

Between the waves of La Caravelle in Tartane and the hidden spots of Sainte-Marie, he discovered his new passion: surfing.

After five years at sea, Samuel turned to marketing while staying close to the ocean. He created Surf Tribe, a website merging his career and his passion for surfing, offering a platform for knowledge and sharing about the sport and its culture.

Because surfing is above all a tribe!
