I’ve lost (for now at least) TC’s email and snail mail addresses and I dont recall ever seeing any pictures to support the words. So for my part I’m just going to drop that one.
That said I still consider humans and their inventions part of the evolution on our planet. Why should what I say matter anyway? And who am I? NO one really. However, who can deny the existence of or that all this man made stuff everywhere is surely evolutionary. But like George Carlin said in one of his humor skits; Earth created humans because it wanted plastic. And when it’s got it’s fill of plastic it will shake humans off like a bad case of fleas.
I suppose that’s probably a more realistic scenario than we would like to believe.
Anyway, thanks for the encouraging words. It’s no secret that I get many of my ideas for surfboard fins from observing nature or human nauture (the Mulhern pump was part of my thoughts regarding how MVGs might help; did it mimic the swishing tail of the tuna?). So At least that is my kick off point. NO good idea stands alone. And I always try to give nature her due.
However, I am dumb. Still can’t find my notebooks. All this paper information I’ve been accumulating has become the biggest problem regarding finding stuff here. When I started I had one desk, now I have five. And they are all just for me. Not to mention overflowing file cabinets and bookcases. And boxes of more books. That plus getting ready for a FL run tomorrow night and my shoulder killing me with nerve damage. I’m just about out of stoke for looking. I’ll give it attention when I get back next week.
As for the bumpy trailing edge that is as I see it a step in the trial and error process formula. Not to be discounted but not the be all to end all either.
We’ve only begun to scratch the surface. With almost 9K views of this thread someone is watching. Permutation computations predict a billion billion monkeys continuously hammering away at typewriters will eventually produce the complete works of Shakespere. Or did I just make that up? i seem to remember someone saying something like that years ago. Sounds good though (grin). Anyway, fins have room to get better.
We just need a few bizillion more monkeys.
I talk this way because this is how I think and that is how I put seemingly odd ideas together. Besides I dont want to spoil anyone elses fun with promoting my ideas over anyone elses. That would also mean I would be telling what I’m making. Cant do that because I’m still thinking.
