something like this…?
Kind of contradicts what Maurice is saying here
WHAT IS THAT!!! i don’t know what it does but it looks awesome
Maurice has always tended to be out front in board design. Saw him years ago at Northpoint, West Oz, riding an early version of the deep single concave, going faster then anybody else in the water on what is one of the fastest waves anywhere. He was mates with my host, 3 of us chatted a bit post-session, remember tripping on how deep the single concave in his board was when checking it out.
right board for the right conditions, though, right?
Long, hollow walls of Bells, love to jump on that deep Cole concave. Soft summer walls of SoCal, where’s the flat bottomed Fish, gonna be faster and more fun.
Just have to look at the posted pictures to understand water enters and exits the bottom at many different angles of attack. It’s the hydraulic flowing out the tail, however, which provides the glide HP. And lotta ways to capture that hydraulic.
Interesting video.
Maybe the flow of water is being re-directed/deflected off the concave bottom surface of the outside rail for a jetting/thrust effect also – bottom turns and cutbacks. Like light being focused by a parabolic mirror …
this is great! any ride report?
i’d like to try that one out!
