Sorry, the game's afoot now. . . .

I see plenty H, just not sure what specifically it is I am meant to be sparking about.

Boats are boats and have a propulsion system and rudder of some kind, does that necessarily mean that a hull design migrates well to riding waves?

Yes and No.

The means of propusion and the movable rudder do change things

Not my way of doing things, H. On that you just have to take my word.

Just searching and not particularly a fan of 'hull' boards aesthetically at least, does not mean they don't perform at some level. As is always the case, depends on how one wants to ride a wave.

An off-set table taken from a boatbuilders half model is the basis for all cnc design....cad drawing gives the same result , just much quicker .......regarding planing and displacement , the only craft I can think of that is not a blend of both is a hovercraft......the true art is still in the shaping bay and knowing how to blend it all together properly.( which I dont know !!

well said somebodys done there homework good man
yea i know rick i wouldnt argue with you
but fact is it creeps in in all aspects of surfboards mals mids shorts
in fact the the lastes craze to follow lords work is a bit behind

cheers huie

huie...i struggle follow it all...just know what it feels like under my feet

your new shape looks great....but i can't help but think

the longer the hull...faster it goes

reducing the area ...can that reduce the speed

gawd....i hate it when some stuff roy writes makes sense

its a bloody mini simmons with some slight twists

it will come frome behind ya and smoke ya






still a bloody hull though

Can any comparison (in principal) be made with velo?

Is that the top or bottom huie?

I like the look of it...what sort of changes are you making to the traditional mini-simmons design? Is this a first trial or something or have you been doing a few?

overthe yrs i have made a number of g g kneeboards and i can say this board has very few simalaritys

the belly may be in a bit of a way but from there they go in diferent ways

cheers huie

Right, there @rses would be toast if I was posting there, having a few points of order to serve on the B*ggers myself.

The official history of surfing's missed a fair bit by the sound of it :?

I see how your board relates to that new semi displacement hull you posted earlier. . . displacement up front planing in the back. Im doing it the other way around lol, well sort of
