Believe me I don’t want to spoil your party, but hear me out. I’ll do my best to share my insight, and I promise to never post on your fin threads again.
Speaking of your google, this is an observation I made since I didn’t need diapers, but isn’t the water coming out of the hose different than the wave form energy that moves through the OCEAN that WE move through? At end of the ride I settle right down for a nap in the crowd, or if I stray to far from the pocket my rocket becomes a barge and I’m wishing that my fins were an engine like on the back of Flippers tail. Which one of you is brave enough to hand Laird a fin and say to him that you tested it with a circumcised hose? Sounds like a trick you’d pull on a gremmie.
Have you priced a set of Halcyon’s fins(?), but I’m willing to pay, cause to an artist the difference in brushes, example - a fine sable or disposable, is quantum. (Spiritual earth - Aloha Waves Nalu Pu Loa - Denjiro Sato - for the indide of a wave) (Second Thoughts - Timmy Turner for the outside look)
Welcome to the world of sleepless nights, if you dare? Or, it’s a twang thang, baby. Up and down motion can create a wave which amplifies and oscillates. If you accept this premise then does thickness dampen or amplify? The laws of nature were made to be broken but it’s a matter of degree. How do you get a horse to move or get that board glassed by a lazy worker? Crack that whip. With a flick of the wrist just a little up and down motion goes from thick to thin and what a speed increase! you’re breaking the sound barrier. OK, you can power a horse but power a boat? The answer is back to google scale. Sperm, cause the minimal effects of gravity, can whip their tails and head for that egg , but at our scale all you have is sushi.
Common features - only difference is in the DNA. Do you participate or does your wife do all the work? She may be the genius in the family if she works with mans first quantum leap. FABRIC. Clothe the mass. Rug on the loom, movable tent and sail the seas. Even cover foam surfboards. I know the answer to this, only cause my wife has asthma, so I shake the rugs. How can you amplify that crack the whip thing I was first talking about to gain power instead of only speed? (Read that book about Chaos that I gave as a suggestion before). Or maybe you’ve shook the sheets with your lady and if she’s smaller than you she put more speed in the shake(?) and didn’t it rip out of your hand with surprising force, when your shake frequency was more leisurely than hers? So you said wait a minute here, you tightened your grip and then it happened again. So you tried more force and it still happened? Woah, down on your knees and bow to the magic sheet that overpowered man. One more try? Just shake your sheet faster than your partner and she’ll lose her grip.
We’re all related. NOW look at Greenough’s spoon - FLAT and STIFF and THIN with that (trailing) straight rug edge. He said it was to, “Handle the horsepower.” Hey wait a minute there’s more… Look at his paddle fin - straight trailing edge? Get the idea? Look at Simon’s thruster… Or Simmon’s balsa. Or “Why the concave deck on your woodie, Bert.” Or why did your honey comb longboard break with that gunshot sound? Or look at a tuna tail. Why did I ask and why did I open that door? It’s starting to gell, I can feel the tide. Breathe… I think he’s gonna pop!
I’m spent. And here’s the kicker they prefer Greenough’s mat…
Why, Why, Why? What if your tail rail unfolded a membrane that filled like a half-pipe hose? Would the water increase the relative or apparent weight of your tail and additional curved surface hold you in? Then, zip up, tuck that heavy hose back in for your speed run? Where’s the tank to test this? Tag, you’re it.
