the truth of how water flows over the bottom of a surfboard?
i say we all fund the build or purchase of a see-through surfboard [how do you call the plastic see through material? i have seen the boards here on sways...]
we will then go on and stick red ribbons on the bottom, say 2 inches long over 3 inch increments, from nose to tail
have the board surfed
the surfer will film the bottom during his surf with a go pro [to be funded/sponsored]
have the surfer be filmed too, or even mount the go pro to the board...
put the two movies underneath each other, timeframed...
= the truth!
stop the debating, theorizing, how great would that be?
it is just the board, or boards... that we need to choose in order to know the flow
my guess is the money funding is easier for a shortboard - maybe all the secret readers, hi Rusty! will chip in, there are sites for the crowdsourcing, but sways should do?
i asked our mutual friend b. thomson, but he is busy now
i propose, in the swaylocks spirit, that Huck will build a nice single fin see through noseride together with mr Thailkill?
or... a shortboard by george gall? or...?
what are your ideas on it?
