SuperMarine

Surfing a wave doesn’t happen unless you catch it. Profound, I know. And there are many variables that play into doing just that. Length, width, and thickness of the board all add up to its total “displacement”. Then there is laminar flow. We just “it glides into waves easily”. Part of that is also “drag reduction”. In this case, twin fins and quads provide the least amount of linear drag on the bottom surface of a surfboard. Then there is “lift”. When paddling for a wave the nose of the board points toward the beach. Which is return means the “tail” of the board is the first part to come in contact with the face of the wave. As the wave rises toward its crest it is also “lifting” the surfboard from tail to nose. The wider the tail, the sooner the lift. This is why shorter wide tail boards catch waves easier than your high performance shortboard. Maybe easier is the wrong word, maybe sooner is better? yes, because if you are catching waves sooner than the surfers around you, that’s usually a good thing. Wider tail harder to turn? Depends on the shape of the tail. Hence, the swallow. Allowing the pivot point to break sooner and water to flow off in the center this feature is best for wide tails. The double concave underneath the swallow tail provides “lift” and “speed” as it flows through turns and redirection.

What’s being said here is simply this; the SuperMarine catches waves easily and surfs smoothly.
