Term

Tail

The designated physical rear end of the board; its name does not reverse in switch.

GLOSSARY · Orientation & naming

The tail is the designated rear end of the board. On twin boards nose and tail can be nearly identical, so the name follows the board's design or the rider's setup rather than the direction the rider happens to travel.

Context and distinction

The tail does not become the nose in switch. Use trailing end for whatever end is behind in the current travel direction.
