i thought it was 99 percent
but a guy called “janklow” just verified it was 100
have you been sitting on encyclopedias
or do you just wipe your ass with the pages ![:slight_smile: :slight_smile:](/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=12)
Of all the aspects of board design that ive seen make a “difference” to the “Average Surfer”,
Concaves arent one of them
doesnt seem to make them surf faster.
or better
or catch more waves
or get more barrels
or paddle better
etc etc
etc etc
etc
so they must be really really important.
far more important then…
let me think,
im just a backyarder mind you so this is just a guess!
how about this one.
correct volume for weight and abillity?
hmm, windsurfers seem to have figured this one out years ago.
oh well i can get this toxic, 18 inch wide two inch thick
fall apart piece of shit that will last me 1 year if im lucky
with plastic fins
but im gunna rip the shit out of it.
cuz its got concaves!
yeah bring em on
concaves
im ripping now!
maybe someone with your outstanding surfing ability
would notice such subtleties in modern surfboard design,
And would notice the extra burst of speed(and extra wave count) you get from single to double with a V.
no one “proved” to me they work
and i cant really notice the difference.
and seen as this is a public “design forum”
it is my prerogative
as is Kcasey
to state my opinion,
whether true or misguided.
didnt you call someone a kook before?
so how do you manage to fit in being a physicist, pro surfer,literary genius
and still manage to have time to post here and build boards?
bro
ps
craftee
its is most likely im wrong!
but for me personaly
i not 100 % convinced about concaves!
flat is fast
stiff fins
nice and wide
pretty thick
I dont see any pros riding what i ride
but who cares?
ill never even get close to that ability
and i think that people need to ask themselves
as they fudge takeoff after takeoff and get caught behind section after section.
and spend three hours getting out the back
and only get a couple of waves when its crowded.
“why arent my concaves working for me?”
and i can tell them
"bro .you just dont have the right type of concaves,maybe you should try single
all the way through.Im going left by the way!"
