<span style="font-size: medium; ">Just a thought......

Because we don't have a 160 lb surfer weighting/unweighting etc to hold and track the board in a carving turn.....

Might we think about placing chines along rear third of the boards rails. Design them to hold on one side and release on the other in a right or left turn?

RC Surfers, in my view are a boat mimicing a surfer on a wave. (I hate what I just wrote!) What I really mean is that there are fixed boat hull design features
specifically designed to address some of our issues. Chop, bumps, lift, directional stability etc.

Also, the scale of the water surface conditions i.e. chops/bumps/wind compares to an Off Shore Racing Boat going 100 mph in 3 ft seas.
