Displacement hull boards

[pridmore]

these are resin glue ups too, quite a few of them, maybe 4 on this one from memory.....will get a few pics of logo...did you know of the 'Pyke' in Sydney ?, I'll have to see if I can find it in 'Stoked' again.....

[huie]

from my memory fred pyke made boards in vic

it is possible lynch may have been there at some time
but hey i was in noosa in those days it was an outpost

[mustkillmulloway]

i've given it away..or set it free...wateva

broke my heart

but i had a vibe

it's still availiable for test ride

solace, duke street,sunshine beach

sunny locals find it

blowins pm me

password is go souths, than u get borrow it

( say it like u mean it )

what u want me say huie

i had do it

circles are part life and design



make me one replace it

but we need talk about those 50/50 rails first

p.s it's good karma for there new store...they might be altenatives in surfing views...but they rip and surf...not many surf shops left with owners do that

Huie, I have a hull that was shaped by "Pyke", you may know who it is ??? I know there was a Pike who made boards and was from the Sydney area in the sixties I think, he as mentioned a few times in McTavishs' book, the same Pike ??? anyway, I have a pic but its got several other boards in the pic and you cant see logo...might post anyway....any info and possible year of that shape woould be appreciated....

Hey Mark,
The "Pike" in Sydney in McTavish's book I remember as Bob Pike. Thought he was a fireman.
I had a 10' Pyke for a few years. God it was heavy. So heavy that turning it for a couple of hours in the surf would leave me with a back ache for days after. And Huie's right. They were made in Vicco. Originally i thought it came from WA but someone put me right along the way.
I sold it but wish i hadn't now.

Bob Pyke was a pioneer Aus big wave surfer of considerable reputation. He shaped boards for Scott Dillon (Bob Pyke piont-break model). He was also surfing at Pipeline hawaii ,the first day it was riden , along with John Peck (?) and Butch Van Artsdalen and some others.I am sure he was a Narra boy

[collnarra]

yeah, his name is Bob Pike, a former narrabeen surfer, big wave rider and all-round legend. Died by his own hand a while back.

I have an early 70s Pike single fin that he gave me. I treasure that board.

I'm not sure I understand what the difference is between a planing hull and a displacement hull?

A planing hull is more like a hull entry into zero rocker, sharp-ish rails, often with some single or double concave right? What are the different characteristics of a displacement hull?

r

The first thing to realise is that the boards called displacement hulls are actually planing hulls .

All discussions of so called 'displacement hull' surfboards get confusing for that reason.

true displacement hull

[Roy_Stewart]

Two displacement hulls:

Two displacement hulls:

WRONG

[Roy_Stewart]

Right actually.

Those cat hulls derive most of their lift from displacement and sails, not planing lift.

Take a look at a cross section of the hull.

Almost all displacement hulls produce some dynamic or planing lift, and all planing hulls displace water.

Displacement hulls are not limited to the usual 'hull speed' rule of theumb if the length to width ratio is high enough.

Here's another displacement hull, and here's some educational material for you huie:

true displacment hulls were almost extinct before you were born

the rest is just bullshit

we all know that any craft must displace some vol
but to sugsest a catermaran as a displacment hull what shit

as for the stupid refrence to the canoe the only reson its displacing anything is because of the big fat arse lowering the centre of gravity

[Roy_Stewart]

true displacment hulls were almost extinct before you were born

Come on huie you can do better than that, why respond with nonsensical untruths it just encourages other people to follow suit ?

'True' displacement hulls are certainly not extinct, in fact they are very common, for example paddle skis and oil tankers just to name a couple.

the rest is just bullshit

we all know that any craft must displace some vol
but to sugsest a catermaran as a displacment hull what shit

As a matter of fact the vast majority of catamarans are displacement craft, it's no use just saying that it's bullshit because it isn't.

The Hobie cat design I posted a picture of is a displacement hulled craft.

If you visit the links and read the material, or think about it clearly then you will save yourself further embarrassment on the subject.

As I said above. Bob Pike is/was from Sydney.
"Pyke" boards come from Vicco.

[huie]

nah roy you new what i meant when i said true

but as u always do u play on words with tankers and catermarans

ffs ya dick will displace its vol in water so if you measure

the square root of the waterline and multiply this by 1.34 ya will know how fast ya dick is

[Roy_Stewart]

Honestly I have no idea what you are on about, the fact is that there are many different kinds of displacement hull and most catamarans fall int that category as they generate very little planing lift and rely on displacement lift.

the square root of the waterline and multiply this by 1.34 ya will know how fast ya dick is

That's also nonsense, it's just an old rule of thumb which only applies to some hulls. For example many displacement hulls on catamarans are very narrow for their length and that enables them to greatly exceed the theoretical hull speed predicted by the 1.34 rule.

[mustkillmulloway]

hmmmm....all i know is huies hull goes fast

thats from me and the few others that don't spin it out first bottom turn


your both being cryptic

in laymens terms define a displacement hull in your mind/design


if you both care too



than the rest us can judge your answers on merit
