From the 'iPhone Diaries': A Peek into the Experimental Realm
The claim is that moving the stringer will change the axis of rotation of the surfboard. This is incorrect, as the axis of rotation is determined by the surfboard's area distribution and the position of the rider's feet, not by the stringer position.According to the diagram below the surfboard will rotate around the stringer position, It will not.
Leverage cannot be increased by moving the stringer position ! The idea is laughable.
The premise is ridiculous and shows a complete misunderstanding of surfboard flex and hydrodynamics in general.
Any stringers should be on the perimeter of the board, this is just a weak excuse for a new fashion, fed to the extremely gullible and brainwashed surfing masses.
The idea follows the usual BS industry pattern of brain impaired rubbish with a famous name attached, so as far as the myth making marketing machine ( MMMM )
agenda goes it is perfectly valid. . . . it's just complete BS as a design concept. Most people are so dumbed down and cowed by the corporations that they don't even attempt to think for themselves on this or any other subject.
