Today was waist to chest high, an occasional head high wave did roll through. Glassy at first and then a slight south wind started to fill in. The sky was surreal.
I’m so stoked on my Terry Martin displacement hull. I got a 7’6”, something that would fit in my truck bed thinking that I would use it as a longboard when it’s small. I’m thinking of selling one of my other boards now and getting a shorter hull for every day.
The theory behind the displacement hull can be found in book written by naval architect Lindsay Lord “ The Naval Architecture of Planing Hulls”. You can download a copy at: http://e-j-m.com/lord-book.html ; I'm sold.
Of course it doesn't hurt to have a master craftsman like Terry shape a board for you. I think I read on Surfy Surfy that they estimate he has shaped over 70,000 surfboards in his career.
