Derek Hynd and his finless surfboard.
Derek Hynd is one of surfings great innovators and explorers. Derek's ability to surf to such a high level as well as have such a fine understanding of board shaping and hydrodynamics puts him in a category which only the likes of George Greenough and Tom Wegener can really hold a candle to.
Rumour has it that for over 2 years D.H hasn't ridden a surfboard with any fins. Instead of joining the throngs on the trail of the Polynesian Alaia he's been bringing the concept up to date, through the advances that PU blanks allow in bottom contours, D.H has been harnessing the reduction in friction from skegless boards and combining this with the hold,trim and turning properties of concave. The results may just be a window into the future. Derek Hynd we salute you!

ReplyDeleteI salute spinalsurfer for saluting Derek! You've got it pegged. Derek's R&D is second to none. While I respect the agility, finesse and all-out precision it takes to pull off a successful aerial, I, personally, thank Derek for bringing the sport back "inside" the wave.
ReplyDeleteHe has inspired me to go skegless - even if I have to learn the sport all over again!
