Pauls design is scratched from all the information about the fastest flow forms aquatic and aerodynamic. He crunched the numbers came up with the FP.
An experiment for the kids at home...
Take a teaspoon, knife and go to the sink......turn on the tap halfway and play and actually watch whats going on.
You might think this is funny but youll be amazed at the different flow characteristics.....
A knife edge will release the water (sharp rails on the tail - more speed)
A teaspoon curve down into the flow will wrap the fluid around itself (rails)
A teaspoon facing curve up into the fluid flow will trap energy(turing into lift for FP at speed) and redirect the fluid flow... basicly you get wet. Concaves trap energy and if shaped all the way to the tail, you will end up with too much lift under the tail, your board and will lose direction at high speed (concaves)
If you hang a teaspoon gently from the end of the handle between you finger tips with the curve facing the flow move the spoon just touch the fluid flow and youll notice it will be drawn into the flow. (rocker)
A wave isnt made of flat straight lines so if you have the right rocker to match the wave similar to(syncromesh gears) your rocker is made up of nose lift, mid section, tail lift is what gets you through the bottom of the wave without it youll nose dive for sure too much means you have to stay in the power.
The FP concave it may look extreme at one centimetre deep compared with 3mm concaves at present that run rail to rail, rail to rail concaves can at times catch an outside edge, the FP concave stops 6cm from the rail to leave a flat neutral section which eliminates this problem. Also the FP concave is flat not dished, a dished concave turns fast edge to edge but a flat bottom concave is more stable all round(especialy at high speed) The planshape of FP concave is much the same as the tail on a big wave speed board. You cant compress a fluid. Because of this the flow is constantly accelerating to match the reducing area finnaly bursting from the concave tip releasing a water jet that is then tricked into returning beneath the tail of the board providing lift (stern pressure wave)
Returning more energy to the board eg "Penguins" and "12 meter" yachts use these principles that showed up though our research.
You are getting close guys the flat bottom concave in the FP acts as a flat rocker and lifting section all at once..so you have the best of both worlds a straight board and a curved board.
CHeck my site and look at the side evelvations and plan shape of the concave where it starts and finnishes....
Build one for yourself its a gas, youll be amazed at the performance.
