Re: My lates Wing board
Hi Bob,
I have used a fin for so long now I can’t remember how they run without, but I can add one later if necessary, I see lot of people on this forum run finless and they seem to make it work. The anticipation to get this board in the water is building.

Re: My lates Wing board
The glassing is finished, now the most difficult decision to make what colour and pattern? I am not certain about fitting fins yet. It has lost the organic look of pectoral fins and is more aircraft looking

Re: My lates Wing board
Hi Bob ,Brett I don’t want to sound egotistical going on about how fast my board s are, but it seems quantifying incremental changes in surf craft is very difficult. In cars, boats and planes you can read a spec sheet and by glancing at the HP and weight you can tell how fast it will be. Surf craft ...

Hi Bob
Thanks a bit mind numbing , some very interesting points, I like the trace device , but its all average speeds and not actual board surface speed,

Re: My lates Wing board
Hi Brett, I need information on surfboard performance telemetry, what is out there, I think I need a speed o meter or something to measure surface speed, there must be a small speed sensor out there. GPS is too average, like if you go forward 2ft but drop 6ft GPS can’t pick that up. You talked about...

Re: My lates Wing board
Hi Brett, It is very interesting all the different ideas out there,it can be difficult to be certain all this complexity is improving riding a wave,we all have differnt goals on a wave.My improvement goals is to be the board that rides the longest on any wave on any day.Like on a close out day i wan...

Re: My lates Wing board
Hi Brett,
I am no sure what CMS is ,but it is all hand layup on XPS with brushes and rollers,mostly 6 oz cloth .I like useing ridges and concave sections to strengthen , the tip half of the foil will have a laminar- flow section blending to the flat center

Re: My lates Wing board

Re: Morey's the one
Hi brett, This looks like you should cut the side fins off and screw a foil onto that v rail, that to me is the correct gape between board and foil.To lessen inertia coupling, it looks like something was screwed onto that rail ?.That to me looks like a very interesting project.It looks like a foil a...
