E's Surf Report

A sting operation is clearly needed here. Get three groups of people together. Car #1 parks a car in the area of the offender and goes surfing leaving some valuables in sight. Car #2 parked prior to the setup car on the ave but in sight of car #1 watches for the thief. Car #3 is one block away and stays in touch with car #2 via cell phone. Let the thief break into the car and watch as he leaves in his own car. #2 and #3 will get the license number and description of the thief and call the police. Then follow the thief from a safe distance to a location of purchase. Call the police again to give the current location. This is happening too often.

I think it may be the same theif that breaks into cars near my house when the ground swells arrive with offshore winds. Stay clear of this area in the fall ;)

wo matt hoy

welcome back e! i want to see the bruce movie

good plan. looks like hoyo's got a ski. he sure can lay down a gaff. nice right saltydog-when were they taken?

Anyone been out this morning? How's the surf looking?

">

I drove the beach at the crack of dawn, twice cuz I couldn't believe my eyes the first time. The south is passing us by. One guy at the south end took his board out of the car, put on the wettie, put the board back in the car and went for a swim. He was the only person I saw actually go in this am (6:30).

Alameda Andrew and I both hit it this morning...miserable is the call...

The thief hit Timo Saturday and sent me email...Sunday I was coming home around 9:30, stopped at P, got out, and checked cars. Sure enough, the black Subaru in the intersection...rear window recently broken, glass everywhere....and this part is key...CLOTHES LEFT IN PLAIN SIGHT JUST INSIDE THE WINDOW. The thief obviously broke the window, rifled through the clothes for a wallet, and was gone.

For the safety of everyone involved, I think it is better to avoid surfing in the Avenues for a while...

Some shots of my new board, with rotating rail fins...a 6'1" flyer.

welcome back, e.

i had a short but very sweet session a bit south last night. with the south swell & the tide i thought i was jetty-bound but she was flat like pancake. wound up scoring some inside grinders elsewhere. 5 guys were leaving as i arrived and one dude almost left but reported that it picked up right when i got there so he came back out. sweet...

i was riding blakestah's newest creation - a thruster setup with rotating side fins. he rigged them on a widish 6'4" rocket sled and it cooks. between the limited swell and my limited time & abilities, i haven't had the chance to crank any big turns, but after last night and a prior session at kelly's i am very confident that the design works...nice work db.

Scored some nugglets this morning after driving south. Wasn't too impressive, but was less blown than Beach and not totally miserable. Better than nothing, I s'pose, which is what August is all about this year.........

Thank you Dennis for vindicating me. "lone surfer on the south end"...while blakestah and his 3 buddies were still snug in their bed, most likely in footsie pajamas with the trapdoor in the ass.

I took the board down to the beach with me...I just only used it for 15 minutes. Swimming is fun.

Blakestah,

Why are the side fins so weirdly shaped on the rotating fin system thuster?

Alright Andrew! I'll recognize you by your black and grey O'neill wetsuit next time. I can't remember faces but never forget a wetsuit. Go figure.

After last night I can safely say, surfing is still fun. I had my doubts, but no, its true. Yay!

I am not convinced the exact fin shape will make an enormous difference, I'm probably going to make glass fins with the original Merrick template too. Those fins were mathematically designed, second generation...like this.

A hydrodynamic wing theory is that you should have an elliptical distribution of lift on a wing. The amount of lift near the wing base is greatest, and falls off with the square of the distance to the tip. This minimizes the tip eddy kind of drag called "induced drag". For these thruster fins I made a plot of the width versus depth, and adjusted it until it matched an ellipse. I made the rake similar to a G5 fin, and tried it out. Those were on the board Loon has now. They were a little too pivot-ty, but close to being correct. For the Merrick I took the same template and raked it a little more to get rid of the pivot-nature in the fin. It worked, they are like butter now. The degree to which they feel pivot-like is almost identical to the normal thruster fins.

The downside is the tip is a little pointy, and I don't really like that. I have to make a new set to compare originals to my fins. Actually, just as a vindication, I'm pretty sure mine are better (in a rotating system), and the original Merricks are better in a fixed fin system....

Nice little geeky digression....surfy surf!

Andrew.....I guarantee you I was surfing this morning...in the water at 6:10 AM, out around 7:15.

At the very least someone should leave his jeans in the car with mousetraps or razor blades in the pockets.

blakestah,

what prevents the fins from rotating like this:

\ / or like this \ \ or / / and are they "set" like the traditonal / \?

i'd suggest rounding the leading edge of your foils at the base. sharp leading edges are good for straight lines and pure speed. but since your laterally pivoting fins quickly the rounded leading edges and draft forward profiles absorb change of direction better and cavitate less. your actually slowing down the water so it stays attached to the fin. where as a bladey fin slices quickly allowing air/turbeulence to build up increase the chance for cavitation.

this trend in foils is being incorporated by many of the top wave fins for windsurfing...again. it's an old concept that my team extensively test in the water with good results. my crude lab tests backed it up as well.

sorry, foils get me HOT!

Anyone know if there is any south swell projected for the Big Sur area this weekend? Some friends are camping, but I'd prefer to save gas and remain here if it's gonna be flat as a pancake down there.

RE: car thief
Perhaps try one of those possom traps with the snapping jaws. Leave the wallet in the middle with some cancelled credit cards inside just in case.

Blakestah - that's an awfully ugly retrofit.
Why would you buy a $500+ surfboard to do this to.
Don't give up the day job.

3to5, the fins are supposed to be radius'ed at half max camber on the leading edge...it is mostly rounded in the leading edge foil. Probably the very base didn't get done so well, better fire the guy who did the foil grinding (anytime you wanna give him a lesson speak up). I do all my rail fins with a rounded leading edge and max camber 20-25% back from the leading edge, taper to about 1-1.5 mm thick on the trailing edge.

The fins are straight with the stringer when you go straight. You turn left, they go / /. You turn right, they go \ \ . The outside rail fin rotates further, to bleed off any drive from it. The inside rail fin has a closely controlled end-stop so that you have 1/4" toe-in on the inside rail fin when you turn.

i think the south will have pushed though. save gas.
today is the day if you have a hankerin for adventure.

just my 2cents.

and blake i can't wait to post the pic of my RFS.... I think my interest peaked too early in the design process.

Dear Anon.

Give a guy a break, we all are learning right.. Whats wrong with a little exploration / innovation. We don't harsh on you for posting as an anonymous dude. Oh wait.. we do. crap.

Dude Andrew, you were totally there first. i dont even think blakestah surfed this morning.

anon. heckler's are all good with me. it's not like anyone really know's who is who no matter what handle they use.

now this guy might deserve a slap in the face though

ok, so he did surf, but he's still into footies & trapdoors

drove south for a dp but couldn't pull the trigger for small mush and lotsa company.

now you know why the police don't care about surfers. photo taken at ortega this morning.

ha!

im longboarding in the morning

Keep up the design talk. Love it. Looks very interesting Blakestah. Good work. Don't hate b/c someone is trying something new and thinking different. All you haters, just keep bloggin' and never try anything new.

And Kaiser, email me whenever. And you better be bringing the cape down with you!

i like amigoism's idea. the ol' bear snare under the pants trick.

Dr. Blakestah- Is "too pivot-ty" a technical engineering term? HA! Do you have a system for making my board think I weigh 20 pounds less?

Artifact- thanks for the email, I'm jonesin' for that boat ride.

Get on the Al Qaeda websites, get plans, rig up an IED and blow him skyhigh. That'll learn him.

Anyone work at a bank who can get one of those exploding dye packs? Niceness crew will chip in to get your car detailed after this dude has a dye pack explode in his face.

Man, that molester has got some balls. I would have done the double reach around, though.

Yeah, I agree with the above sentiment that we all really should avoid surfing the avenues this Fall. Especially on sunny, off-shore days with a swell running. In fact, as a courtesy to you all, I'll volunteer to park my car at Noriega during every 6-8 foot Fall day. I'll leave lots of cash and credit cards and jewlery lying in plain sight in my back seat, while *all* the rest of you hide in cars and houses along the great highway. To make it genuine and really fool the thief, I'll go out to the beach and surf. I'm prepared to make this sacrifice the whole Fall and Winter if neccessary. Unfortunately, this will take some planning, so let's start the sting operation around November 15th. Agreed?

blakestah, like the design, its been interesting to read and hear about it as it progresses. its something a mate and i used to talk about frequently back in aus, and its good to see someone having a go.
I also have a query/comment. You say the outside fins are set parallel to the stringer. from my humble experience i understood that the outside fins should be angled toward the front tip, or nose, of the board, giving the inward \|/ look of the fins we're most familiar with.
Was there any particular reason for setting the outside fins up parallel? and waht advanatge would there be to this and settign them up intially on the angled alignments?

Well, er, ah surfseeker7 - I appreciate your offer to make the ultimate sacrifice but because it was my idea, I think I should be the one to surf, I mean set the trap. Just in case something goes wrong. I wouldn't want to be responisible for the health and welfare of others.

fake or real? they sure look fake.

jonno, all the fins are parallel to the stringer when the board is out of the water.

In a turn, the inside rail fin and rear fin are in EXACTLY the same position as they normally are on a thruster. The outside rail fin toes OUT, to reduce drag on the outside rail.

If you go straight after you come out of a turn, the rail fins again turn so that they are parallel to the stringer. This minimizes drag in between turns, while allowing good fin action in turns.

The other benefit is that the board catches waves earlier, because the rail fin drag is reduced.

i'm not gonna say that fin drag doesn't slow down a board. BUT proper floatation to surfers mass ratio has way more value in the equation of how to catch waves earlier/eaiser than fin drag does.
OR.
Wave Speed(surfers ass + fin drag) - Leash drag( bong hit + coffee - morning dump) X (Rip + Wind)(Crowd - Ability)

Anon here.
I actually like Blakestah's design and I commend him for his ingenuity but if he wants to post his designs and advertise his new RFS, he should have a clean set-up.

It looks like he cut out the glass with a butter knife.

tonight at the fillmore!!

Blakestah... looking good. Do you notice anything different while turning (i.e., less fin drag or a different feel than a normal thruster set up)?

Blakestah,

Thanks for the informative response regarding the fin shape and reasoning behind it. Good job!

LA or not LA?

OC

Nope. That is Hermosa. I know that house. Skate by it all the time. Buncha highschool kids "live" there and are allllllways partying.

nice pic of Jason Borte! he basically taught me how to surf the Va Beach dribblers many summers ago. quality guy - teacher, family man, writer (Slater's autobiography), team manager. nice to see him on niceness!

Fin drag in the 6'1" is equivalent to 3-4 inches of board length, by my best guess. Now, that doesn't sound like much, but it puts me from a 6'4" to a 6'1", and that gives me a lot more turning power.

Put another way, use my system, and you can surf, just as easily, a board 3-4 inches shorter. Or you can fly on a board of the same length...your choice.

dano....it was my greatest hope that the board would bottom turn better....by my best estimates, it is a pretty minor impact. I think it is better, but not earth shattering. The ability to drop 3-4 inches in board length and maintain speed will make a bigger difference to most people, I think. Thrusters bottom turn extremely well already.

more boobs please

db,
i think it's a bit naive to suggest you can remove a signifigant amount of volume from your normal surfboard in comparison to a board with your rfs fin set-up and expect a gain in paddling speed......

I'm not a hater or surfboard luddite just not buying that fact.

thanks Hb even this east coaster was gonna call
that as your digs. i think that place is between
my ladies house and the beach.

i do not think that girl's pants could be any lower.
that is nuts.

That wasn't the suggestion at all....if you use the same size board you get a gain in paddling speed...if you use a smaller board you get the benefits of a smaller board's maneuverability while still being able to paddle it just as well as your bigger board with fixed fins.

And, like I said, it is a small effect, equivalent to a few inches of board length. But I think that translates to an easily perceivable performance advantage for most people.

hey blake what about the weight? it seems that
to maintain any semblance of normal planing as
the board profile and rail ask for there IS going to
have to be compensation. otherwise the whole
bottom contour is pointless 'cause the correct portion
of the rail will not be in the water either paddling OR
turning.

those keel-like things are more apt to bite and bite hard, increase drag and bog. especially with that narrow tail.
staying on the rail seems like a better plan that pushing
past it to the flat portion of the board. i would think that
a wider tail (more loose) more planing would be more appropriate for a fin that tall. also what about bigger (taller really) center fin? something more to compensate
or catch the benefit of those side fins? that center fin
looks kinda pointless being so close to the other fins
and so short.

IMHO.

cheers.

Damn, if that is Hermosa, that is where I am staying! Can that girl inch that waist line down anymore?

Big ups to the backyard inventor-shapers everywhere! Blakestah, next time please bring more weird fin invention boards so the whole class can try.

Viva La Velsey!!!

Gazongas! Thank you! Back to ActionScript, now ...

Hey, when you guys kick the shit outta the thief do you think you could beat down Northwest wind while your at it?? We HAVE to stop that guy too. Don't quite have the description handy but I know he is at the beach everyday lately.

korewin, don't be deceived by the pic, the rail fins have the same depth and surface area as the rear fin. I shifted fin area from the tip to the middle. And as to whether it bogs...you can ride it and be the judge....keel style fins work differently when the fin can rotate. Also, the fins are canted with a normal thruster cant, which will decrease the bog factor.

I grant you it is entirely possible board design may optimize differently for the system, but it feels just like a thruster, only a bit faster.

Also, that board has the widest tail of any board I own at 14.25 inches.

ummm...enough surf design talk for one day, i think you rode the wheels off this topic.

damn. that hefner model is farking SMOKIN!! shit.

Rod Stewart's daughter surfs Malibu. The article says she sexy. At 25 years old, she already has the body of a woman her fathers age. Sorry for being mean. http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2005380092,00.html

B-stah - I've noticed on my Flyer, the rails pull in sharply right where the side fins begin. I think this may help reduce volume of the board to compensate for volume of the fins.

hey blakestah, I'm gunna keep flogging it for a while. So if I read you correctly, and think about it a bit, On a standard thruster it is the outside fin that is producing the most drag through the turns - accepting the fact that as you lay the board over the outside fin also tends to be tilted out of the water. This is especially prominent on big bottom turns, where you can often see the outside fin half out of the water in photos. Maybe this explains why your bottom turns felt similar, the drag is about the same as a standard thruster simply cause your nicely aligned outside fin is pretty much out of the water. I would imagine that this out of the water effect would be less pronounced during 'normal' turns on the wave face, and thus the differnce between the RFS and standard thruster is more prominent.
As for shortening the board length due to parallel fins, that i am little more uncertain of, but i can beleive you when you say the RFS board flies, all other things equal.

Before you know who could use the internet.

If you scroll your screen up and down fast it is cool to see the words that pop out.

Blake, great posts!

new from the rough guide series: Rough Guide to a Better World. 112 page free PDF. A lay person's overview of global poverty and development work. Thought it might be of interest for anyone tracking the recent posts about gringos traveling/canandian flags ...

hey...that's identical the history bar on my broswer!

Also, a topic of concern for us Ocean Beach users is the potenial ban on off-leash dogs at OB. Be aware that you should put your dog on a leash when running past the flocks of birds. We know the dog doesn't catch them, but the birds waste energy they could otherwise put into caring for their young.

sf gate article

DB,

How much do the fin boxes add in weight to the board?

Is that a mini-melvin she is giving her?

Google Earth is very cool.

Those fin boxes are very close to the same size and weight as a pair of FCS plugs. That was a design goal.

Off-leash dog walking has only been legal for about 3 months. The previous 6 years, or so, it was illegal. And you know what, nearly nothing changed in that whole time, going back to 8 years ago when off-leash walking was legal.
