Because the board doesn’t have a “tail,” you have a little less "edge" to hold in the face, but it would also enable you to kind of slide around more. This made wrapping quicker because you could kind of slide around the turn. It also made holding a frontside line a little tougher for me at first because the point of the tail isn't there to dig in.
And remember kids, no board is perfect. Different sizes, shapes, and materials have different pro's and con's. There is always a tradeoff. I personally see the Square board as a really fast floaty board that is super fun to ride, and highly recommend it.
keep shredding!

The popular sport of skimboarding began in Southern California with wooden boards being used for the purpose of helping lifeguards get across the beaches of Laguna. Therefore, the earliest skimboards were made of wood and it is still possible to purchase wooden ones, which are often recommended for beginners. These strong solid wooden boards are very durable and survive rough treatment against rocks and grinding shells without cracking; plus they are cheap. Skimboards are also available in plywood, plastic and fibreglass.
