Discussing Roy's surfboard designs.

Of course it can, even SUPs can do it FFS.

By the way it is retarded to talk about 'my board' when I have dozens of different designs.

 

Sorry but I have an excellent safety record, almost never come off my board, have good skills, and didn't drop in. I caught the wave first AND had the inside position at the time.

You are clutching at straws trying to talk it down, it won't work.

The board in the video which you are commenting on weighs 24 pounds which is light for a board nearly 13 feet long.

 

Incorrect, since I was quoting what you wrote here, not what you were thinking... although it can presumably be deduced that some limited thought processes were responsible for what you wrote, mistaken though it is.

That is absolutely incorrect, all fins create lift whenever they are operating at an angle of attack, including singlefins, and the board you have been looking at has more than one fin anyway....

That's so nonsensical that it isn't worthy of a reply.

More nonsense... I could keep charging off down the line leaving the curl behind but choose to cut back and/or stall in order to get back closer to the curl.

You couldn't be more wrong, I know exactly how they work and have written hundreds of thousands of clearly put together words on the subject.

There's a reason why they look so different and it certainly isn't uninformed or random design, it's the result of many decades of experience plus deep thought and insight.

That's a ludicrously incorrect statement, do you not understand that both the hull and the fins create lift?

This is true of all surfboards.

They ride hollow waves very well indeed.

They are excellent in all kinds of wave shapes and sizes, including the above.

Ok let's start with this, since it is not a matter of opinion but of fact.

Make your case please that my single fin does not create lift.

 

Hi Clemson, I've used the goretex plugs and don't like them, as they pass such a miniscule amount of air ( especially when they have been used a few times as salt or detritus can block them) that they need to be removed when out of the water but are badly design for frequent removal, being very easy to break with a very short thread. I haven't used the goretex leash plug type though.

Your brass screw type should be fine. Does it have a hole drilled through the bolt so that it vents when backed partly out?

For longboards I use 'deck fillers' vents these are normally used for petrol, diesel, or water inlets and are large. Some types ( the 'full cover' versions ) can be operated by hand. They are available in lightweight plastic or in stainless steel, bronze or chromed bronze. There are also some magnesium alloy ones around. One advantage of the deck filler is that it has a large hole which gives better ventilation air circulation wise when out of the water than the tiny vents.

'Frosties' in the UK who is on the Tree to Sea forum has had some very nice stainless steel vents made, these are small and operated with a hex key.

 

Now you are just being silly, please try to be sensible.

 

The current issue is that it has been claimed that my single fins cannot create any lift, i.e. they create zero lift.

I'd like to see the person who posted this attempt to support this case, as it is absolutely untrue.
