Plays a bigger role at faster speeds, but is still present at lower speeds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Winters Posted March 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2023 Holy crap, thanks for all the great responses and math! I like the idea of filling Shrimpy up on ice cream! Odd Job, you can keep your fat. Great discussion, keep 'em coming! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philw Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 The maths is handy and looks reasonable. I think most people from experience know it's mostly about air resistance at speed, without necessarily knowing the physics of why. Most people know from experience that tucking is the most effective way to maintain speed on a flat (well aside from a tow from a pickup truck). The square-cube law is perhaps all you need in addition to that. --- Would anyone care to take a stab at the physics of board length? If you take out of the equation the mass, flex and design of the board, what is the effect of board length precisely? I'm after the mechanics/ physics.
