Re: Thought experiment
My first wingless boards, so easy to make compared to the wing boards. The white decked board has been tested in very good conditions 1.5 m @ 11seconds off shore, very easy to get comfortable on not like the wing boards that take at least 3 sessions to work out, very well balanced board, tracks well no need for fins, it’s hard to be objective comparing it to the wing boards, I am suffering information overload

Re: Thought experiment
Both boards tested in fantastic surf. The white decked board faultless, black decked board is ok , pulls great cutbacks not as directional, fells lose not tracking as well down steep faces

Re: Thought experiment
Chrispi,
Sounds like the boards go better without the wings. An interesting opportunity to test new designs - in good waves. What are the dimensions of the better performing twin-keeled board?

All my boards are about the same size, 46 in long, 19 in tail, 22 in widest point. I am blest in Durban lots of good warm water waves to test on. Are the wing less boards better than the winged ,wing less don’t handle choppy faces as well , and get pushed out of position by collapsed sections , the winged boards blast through collapsed sections so I make more waves. Off all the boards I have made the white decked board is the first that felt perfect from the first wave

Re: Thought experiment
Thanks. Confirms the theory that there is no perfect board.
The big question - what is next?

Re: Thought experiment
It confirms that I have no cooking clue about understanding riding an incompressible fluid wave

Re: Thought experiment
Probably will require quantum computer modeling to even come close. The best (for now and likely for always) is your approach, intuitive experimentation based on direct experience. Pioneers may get arrows in their backs but they also make to edge of the map discoveries!CHRISPI wrote:It confirms that I have no cooking clue about understanding riding an incompressible fluid wave

Re: Thought experiment
Keep the "thought" in "Thought experiment"...if it makes you happy then you must be doing something right, even if it's wrong...
