Re: [HerbSpitzer] spitzer finless induction surfboard / ...
are you able to surf this board " normally " or is more of an alaia type ride ?
Re: [HerbSpitzer] spitzer finless induction surfboard / ...
I LOVE it!!!
Looks like a very large twin-tip kiteboard..
I'm really interested in the induction holes, what angle seemed best? are they angled at all or are they perpendicular to the deck??
Does the water shoot up out of the induction holes as you surf??
What's your theory on the workings of the induction "port's" ?.... "Port's", I like the sound of that..lol
How did you arrive on the spacing of the holes?, and their distance off the rails?...... I'm sure the location of the holes could be tweaked for each board and rider..
What bottom contours did you settle on??
If for any reason , you don't want to answer these questions, I will not be offended...
I can tell you thought / dreamed of this set-up for some time,, and you deserve ALL the credit for it......
I'd like to do a kite-surfboard rendition,, it looks like FUN!!
BTW.. if you post this on the Surfer Mag message board,, you'd better add lots of pictures and some video, to please those there.. They're a youthfull,,, visually driven, "show me " bunch there, from what I can tell...
Re: [Kiterider] spitzer finless induction surfboard / ...
i was thinking it looked like a wakeboard,.............................but ya,kiterider,you're right it looks like a kite board as well.
the induction ports are toed out,............................just the ops of multi-finned placements on surfboards.
i'll get back to ya ,probably tomorrow,got to go for now...........family business/end of school year stuff.
til then

Cool! What do they suck? Air or water.
Re: [HerbSpitzer] spitzer finless induction surfboard / ...
Yeah Herb, the variables are unlimited... It would be nice to have the skills and access to high tech. computer simulations that would allow you to tweak this design without having to build 100 or 1000 prototypes to get the balance right....
I think that's why a lot of the "odd" and revolutionary surf designs were dropped in the past, simply because there wasn't the tech. or disposeable cash to test alternative designs...The shaper would have to shell out hard earned cash and time to build each proto.
Look at the current reviews on ride quality of the majority of modern twin fin boards,,, and their resurection from the past,,, people know more now and apply that knowledge/tech. to a fin set up that "looks the coolest" in my opinion...
Re: [HerbSpitzer] spitzer finless induction surfboard / ...
hiya herb !!
unfortunately for some reason the photos won't show for me
a pity , because i was just thinking to myself the other day "i wonder what superchargerman has been up to lately?"
