bouy reports are inconclusive and the over predicting is fatal to any hope of seing waves without human pond scum and high density intensity attitudinal voraciousness…although with a little swell the rearrangement of sand at polihale could be favorable…currently south swell and more predicted southwest could really confuse direct exposures…I’m still sore recovering from thursday’s paddle foray…ambrose …oooch ouch hand mey my mat for recovery therapy

the term is in fact derived from the nautical world. simmons perused/studied naval experiments involving different hull types, and adaptedt the displacement hull to his boards.(in the 40’s)later, greenough, who is of a nautical background and , as i understand, was oblivious to what simmons did, came up with the same type of displacement hulled bottom for his boards as well-both were looking for pure, flat out speedin the most efficient manner possible,and both, interesting enough , came up with same solution.the DH naturally hooks itself up into the power ponit of the wave and stay there unless coaxed otherwise by the rider.liddle’s boards are built upon this same DH bottom. a very basic explanation but perhaps a start…
So… to clear up the confusion setting in between my ears; could it be said that “displacement hull” boards have domed or V’d bottoms as opposed to flat, concave etc.?

Mr. KP. I’ll take advantage of your ability to talk surfboards and ask you what the bottom of one of these liddlesque DH surfboards looks like.
I had someone paddle out next to me a while ago with a board from the 70’s that had an actual V shape to the hull like a boat. Is this what we are talking about?
Wahooo! go to resources then go to photos then go to 5 to 511 and go to greenough spoon painted , that is a Hull!, round curved bottom to neutral rail 50/50 rails some have combos of V some have tri plane hulls there are infinate combos . If you want to see Liddle hulls in action go to allaboutsurf.com then hit archives and go to first issue, theres good video of malibu in the 70s.hope that helps.KP the pool guy
Whahoo I just checked allaboutsurf.com and they took the video part out of that story, its called six feet to fit but there are some nice pics of hulls.
Man to many resin fumes ,I just went back and the films are all there so check it out!!
you see…
this guy wants to meet me at a reststop and grind me?
i told you guys, STAY AWAY FROM THESE FAUXMEXICANS.
