Stringer


A thin piece of wood running from nose to tail that increases the strength of the board. Boards have different amount of stringers and some have no stringers. - Wikipedia.com


Rails


The edges of the board. A rounded rail is called "soft", while a more squared off rail is called "hard", and rails that are in between are considered 50/50. - Wikipedia.com

Deck
