The primary benefit of the thin profile is a more direct connection to your surfboard, not a compromise in longevity.

The large kicktail with beveled edges is specifically designed for high-performance surfing where you need a solid backstop for leverage during turns and snaps. If you prefer a more subtle feel or ride a longboard, this might feel overly aggressive, but it is an excellent choice for shortboarders looking for maximum control.
