: Yeah, a pointy end is a hazard.......
I surfed my Tern 14 with a friend Sat. I was about 10 yards behind and off to one side of him as he caught a wave. My Tern 14 caught a wave too even though that was not my intention. I absolutely would have shoved that pointy tip right through his left kidney except I rolled under him. The very near miss really scared me. If I cut the tip off the Tern 14 should I make up some extra stiff epoxy and then fair it in and glass over it? Or do you need to make some funky wood block end that is shaped?
