What exactly are reshapable rails?

Hey, I just got an 06 Integ and I was wondering what they mean by reshapable rails and how they work, totally sorry for sounding like a totally rookie, it's just that I've never had a new Integrity before.

you can sand them down to how you like them. changes the way the board tracks on the water and stuff.

rounder rail = more forgiving and sits lower in the water
cons would be, poorer tracking and slower

Volcomstone167, Ohh alright thanks I wasn't sure if you could like mold them or something cuz I just got the board but it seems like the rails are already sanded, hope I like them sanded haha, thanks.

stompin9s, ohh thanks, yeah I like the board to sit kinda high so my heel doesn't dig in cuz my big ass feet hang off the board and I like a fast trackier board so I think I'm gonna like the sharpish sanded rails the board came with thanks.

i'm thinking of dulling my edges on my team.

do you guys think it'll help me get used to it because it would be a little more lower in the water? or should i just leave it and try to ride it how it is Confused

Gnarly Dancer 42, i dont think you can dull the 08/09 boards more then they are. i felt that the 08 team sat super high in the water. i wasnt a big fan. i think its the core. i prefer the old 41 team (04-06) over the 08 team with the non wood core. it just feels weird to me and i couldnt get used to it.
