The statement that narrower board automatically has less wetted area is problematic. If a board is narrower and the same wetted area shape it will sit lower in the water, increasing the wetted area until the same VOLUME ( mass of water) is attained. So which ever board it is will have to displace the mass of water equal to the weight of the paddler+board. If the below water shape is now less optimal the board could be slower. The main reason a narrower board can be faster is because in still water it has to move the water sideways… Read more »
Hey Gregjet, Thanks for your comments. You are right what you are saying about wetted surface and board volume. I did touch a bit about that in the video about being a heavier rider. But I should of highlighted this more. Regarding the nose shot at 16mins, you have very good eyes. Im about an inc too far forward on the board you are right. If I remember correctly I think I just came out of a step turn and paddled towards the camera and was not in the correct place. Big thanks for your comments and feedback please keep… Read more »
