Quoting: Anonymous Coward 869329So no steam would occur. Depends on what that salinity is. "I am searching for the bones of your father but cannot distinguish them from those of a slave." Diogenes "Some have little power to do good, and have likewise little strength to resist evil" (Samuel Johnson). "The basic difference between an ordinary man and a warrior is that a warrior takes everything as a challenge, while an ordinary man takes everything as a blessing or as a curse."--Don Juan |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 876644once the board has caught up to the wave it is zero. There is a net force of more then zero up until that time. What they are must be calculated for channels, concavities, rocker, shapes imposed on the bottom of a surfboard to name a few. Just sayin. |
