Ah it’s pretty fcuken easy to get a really good board that goes fast and turns easily these days foamingham.
Riding it well, that’s a different matter.

Its more the properties of water. Planing is the mode of operation for a waterborne craft in which its weight is supported by hydrodynamic lift. In water hydrodynamic lift goes up approximately as the cube of speed (in air as the square).godsavethequeen wrote: ↑Thu Aug 02, 2018 10:22 pmWhat elements of the dome make it rise out of the water Cranked?
G that McCoy dome isn’t like a displacement hull, it’s just like a fattened out rounded vee rising off the mid and tail section. At a certain speed, water colliding with its front bulge will cause the tail to lift. Not straight up though, more at an angle. (Lift occurs at 90 degrees to the angle of water striking the planing surface.)godsavethequeen wrote: ↑Fri Aug 03, 2018 5:28 pmSo by your ‘properties of water’ theory, a boat with a displacement hull (round, like a dome) can indeed plane?
and the soft rails and big fins give a lot of hold. For the intermediate surfer this translates into greater control on cutbacks in steeper parts of the wave and decent speed maintenance through turns."Buoyancy is a key factor is surfboard design. I believe the surfer has to be supported by the surfboard, relevant to the wave size and speed to attain maximum performance in a range of conditions; that is what gives the board speed and manoeuvrability"
I reckon the 17-18" tails mean they will give a lot of designs a run for their money in acceleration. And the dome is pretty shallow, the entire rounded V plus the dome is only 1/4" higher than the stringer rail to rail, and the entire tail lift from 2' back is only about 1/2". The actual dome is hard to see but if you rub your hand over it you can feel it. Zots are flatter than Nuggets.alakaboo wrote: ↑Fri Aug 03, 2018 5:54 pmAnything can plane if you apply enough force.

The loaded dome will, once it reaches a certain speed, behave just like cranked explains.
It'll just suck donkey balls until it reaches that point, and be one of the last surfboard designs to reach the required speed.
So Comrade Cranked, Astron Zot would be the board you'd recommend to someone who using rides HPSB?Cranked wrote: ↑Fri Aug 03, 2018 7:38 pmI reckon the 17-18" tails mean they will give a lot of designs a run for their money in acceleration.
