Yes. Thicker or thinner foils. That’s exactly what I’m talking about. Thickness to chord ratio.

Fin Volume?

Maybe waxy is right and we’re just dumb seppos taking words too literally. But I also thought DLS asked the question he wanted to, and I was surprised that he brought up volume, because you never hear about it. In regards to foil, I understood he was asking about the thickness, and what affect this has on the fins’ performance. I would be curious if anyone has talked about how fin designers determine the thickness of a fin... other than “years of experience that we never will”
There’s a thousand other factors to explain my bogged turns before “fin volume”, but hey- it’s better than a 10-page thread about leash strings!
@MathDebater , I’ve only listened to the Twinsman pod because I was curious what the shaper had to say about the board. DLS seems a little too pleased with the depth of his surf knowledge and experience (like most of us on erBB). Yet he didn’t seem to grasp that his roundpintail wasn’t gonna surf exactly the same way Matt was describing the standard swallowtail version.
I kinda can’t stand him.
bro, I thought this was a safe space.
There’s no greater monument to our collective boredom!
I feel like DLS has slowly become the Joe Rogan Experience of surf media. Bro science where the host interjects his own opinion. Although DLS seems to take himself way more seriously.
what kind of fin lube do you guys recommend?
asking for a friend.
asking for a friend.
Would that eliminate the need for a fin puller, or not completely ?
call me old fashioned but i still prefer to use my hands when pulling it.
thicker foil small waves. thinner foil bigger waves
Only adult learners use sex wax braa...sticky bumps for the shred.
if it didn't have the word "sex" in the name, no groms would've used it and no one would try it as an adult. even non-surfers know the name. genius branding for an inferior wax. come at me.
I'm firmly team sex wax. Sticky bumps just turns into a disgusting blob and comes off in chunks way too early. I like low maintenance wax, I can leave sex wax on for a long time no problems. As long as I'm using the right temp, I never slip.
I only use local wax (sticky bumps). maybe we need another wax thread.
Early on sex wax was one of the bezt wax pre sticky bumps they called it "wax research" and it sucked
Sex wax is solid wax and I like as base coat "tropical" and 1'st coat cool or cold some times but not as daily. I just started using 5x sticky bumps cold/cool for daily and like cold or cool SB more then sexwax after base coat.
