Displacement is the volume of a fluid displaced by an immersed
object. In surfboard design, the degree that surfboards by their
volume and geometry and surfers by their size and technique displace
water.
Static Displacement in surfboard design is the degree that a
surfboard displaces water based uniquely on the volume and geometry
of the surfboard combined with the size or volume of the surfer.
Dynamic Displacement in surfboard design is the degree that
surfers displace water with their surfboards based on the combined
volume of the surfboard, the surfer's size, and the surfer's
technique and board management skills.
Ultimately, it is Dynamic Displacement that determines how much
volume is appropriate and how that volume is configured for every
surfer and surfboard. |
