what does this shape do to a board? give it forgiveness, sit deeper or higher in water, easier to break loose, easier to hold butterslides?

also, what board has the biggest lift? i was thinking the lf team, shane, fish...

The ps3 probably has the most lifted edge in LF's line. It's basically where the seam of the top and bottom sheets don't meet and the bottom of the rail, it is pulled upwards a little bit. They do this through the center of the board to make the rail softer through the belly, so the board take a mellower turn, the belly doesn't sit as deep in the water, and it's more catch free for both takeoffs and landings. Easier to break loose, slides really easy. Other boards with this are the ronix one, viva, ibex, and mana, as well as the hyperlite tribute and forefront. I think the obiren decade has a really big rolled rail through the belly as well.

Here is a shot of the rolled edge on the O'Brien Decade.
