akesurf board bottom shapes most typically are flat. The reason for this is that they are easier to shape, rather than offering any performance advantages. Most of the high end wakesurf boards have some type of bottom contour. There isn’t a predominant bottom shape, like there is in ocean style shortboards. With shortboards, the vast majority have a single concave flowing into a double concave through the fins and out the back.
Some background: what is a concave? Check a spoon, the curved part where you eat your cereal from is concave. A concave adds speed to your board because it straightens the center line of your board, while leave the rocker at your rails unchanged. There are some who theorize that a concave adds additional wetted surface area (a curve is longer than a straightline), but it’s significantly less than 1%, so that theory is dubious. Another thing that a concave adds is holding power to the board in turns. The rails are less full, due to the concave and sink easier, plus the curve of the concave adds a hook like feature. The FlyBoy Wakesurf Board extends this design further in the hooked ‘cave.
A vee is the opposite of a concave. Vee bottoms are used where no extra speed is needed, for example in big waves. Bigger waves have power, so there’s no need for your wakesurf board to get extra speed. This isn’t something that is applicable to our small wakesurf waves.
To visualize the effect of a concave on the bottom of your wakesurf board, this standard test is suggested. Go to the kitchen sink and turn on the tap. Grab a spoon and first hold the convex side up under the stream of water. Roll the spoon from side to side. Notice the water release off the edge of the spoon? Also, you can tip the spoon from side to side pretty easily. Now turn the spoon over. Water everywhere! The water spits off the concave of the spoon much faster and much harder!
It’s the same with your wake surf board. Water travels across the board diagonally. Next time you’re wakesurfing, look down at the wake, you’re traveling across the face, not down and with the wake out towards the flats. As such, the only time water travels straight down your board is when you’re about to fall! Have a look at your wakesurfing photos, you can see the water squirting out just like that spoon under the stream of water from the tap.
The single concave on the FlyBoy Wakesurf James Walker Signature model, composite sandwich construction is further enhanced with the hooked ‘cave design, available only on this board. This design feature flattens out the middle of the concave more and then increases the curve of the concave out at the rails, enhance the effects of the concave to give additional speed and grip in the wave face. The benefits to you are faster speed and more holding power in turns, without the adverse effects of extra fins, which typically restrict surface rotational tricks. Another benefit is release. One of the most important factors for a good aerial wakesurf board is the ability of the wakesurf board to release from the wake. As you have observed with the spoon test mentioned above, this hooked ‘cave, releases water quickly and aggressively.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
