One of the most underrated pieces of gear is the one that actually controls your ride! To most folks the fin and the rudder is an afterthought but we are here to convince you otherwise in this fun free informational semiGnar. We have combined the fin with the rudder because there is a tremendous overlap in design principles that applies to both. It’s also just a fun way to connect two of the communities we love together. In this seminar you will learn about…
- Fin & Rudder terminology
- The importance of construction
- How the template impacts performance
- Design Variables and the performance impacts of each design choice
- How to choose the right fin or rudder for you use case
- How location/placement impacts performance
- How to care for and maintain your fin/rudder
- Fluid Dynamics – Laminar Flow Attachment Ventilation and Cavitation (Bring your pocket protector!)
- And a whole lot more.
As always these clinics are a two way street so we encourage you to bring your experience and knowledge and share it with the community. We also encourage you to
- Bring in any fin or rudder and we will analyze it
- Bring a POTLUCK dish to share! Not required but bring it if you got it.
The G in SemiGnar is not a misspelling. It is a tone setter. While we take design seriously we do not take ourselves seriously. These semiGnars are meant to embody the spirit of stoke and we can promise you that you will learn something or your money back.
No RSVP. And while we will try to start on time do not sweat it if you are late just come on in and grab a chair.
