How To Vanish
Saved by uncleflo on February 12th, 2022.
Without the ability to keep secrets, individuals lose the capacity to distinguish themselves from others, to maintain independent lives, to be complete and autonomous persons. This does not mean that a person actually has to keep secrets to be autonomous, just that she must possess the ability to do so. The ability to keep secrets implies the ability to disclose secrets selectively, and so the capacity for selective disclosure at one’s own discretion is important to individual autonomy as well. Secrecy is a form of power. The ability to protect a secret, to preserve one’s privacy, is a form of power. The ability to penetrate secrets, to learn them, to use them, is also a form of power. Secrecy empowers, secrecy protects, secrecy hurts. The ability to learn a person’s secrets without his or her knowledge — to pierce a person’s privacy in secret — is a greater power still. Cell phones are like a drivers license. It is really hard to function in the modern world without one, but they reveal a lot of information about you that you might not want to share.

Compact XFoil Board Claims It Can Reach Speeds Comparable to 500 HP Boats
Saved by uncleflo on January 25th, 2022.
Compact but powerful, versatile, and capable of reaching speeds comparable to 500 hp speed boats, the XFoil is a three-in-one watercraft that allows you to ride on the surface of the water or fly above it. As fun as water sports can be, they are also money guzzlers. Especially if you want to make the best of them. Not everyone can afford to buy both a surfboard and a SUP (stand-up paddleboard), or a hydrofoil board, although it would be nice to be able to ride all of them. Designed in Silicon Valley, California, by PLX Devices, XFoil promises to offer the perfect solution: a watercraft that can serve as all of the above, while also making you feel like you’re in a high-performance speed boat. Everything is wrapped in a compact, lightweight, and durable package that’s small enough to fit in your mid-size sedan.

Surfboard Hull Design
Saved by uncleflo on September 14th, 2018.
I have been wondering about this a lot in Mini Simmons surfboard design (surfboard design in general)—what is a hull and how does it influence the board and the ride? Two factors are at work when a planing surfboard is in motion: the propulsion power, or force, that creates forward motion (the wave energy); the resistance that opposes it (your fat ass standing on the board). When at rest, a surfers weight is borne entirely by the buoyant force (also depending on how much beer you drank the night before). At low speeds every hull acts as a displacement hull, meaning that the buoyant force is mainly responsible for supporting the surfer. As speed increases, hydrodynamic lift increases as well. Ok, you got to reach back to some physics for this one.

On Days Like This It's Best to Avoid Surfing Nazaré, Unless You're These Guys | Into the Wave, Ep. 1 - YouTube
Saved by uncleflo on July 16th, 2014.
There isn't much that Sylvio Mancusi can't do in the ocean. From surfing to kitesurfing to SUPing to towing in this Brazilian sea gypsy never met a set of wind and swell conditions he didn't like. He travels the world with his young family searching for big waves and favorable filming conditions in which to ply his trades. This week Sylvio and the fam rock up in Nazaré, Portugal for a big swell. Praia do Norte is known for giant waves, but it's not known for perfect waves. Sylvio and Garrett McNamara spend their session trying to find a few peeks without getting cleaned up in the process. It's hair-raising stuff. That would be the end of the video for most people, but Sylvio is not most people. When the wind picks up he takes the kite out in 40-knot offshores and horizontal rain. It aint pretty but it sure looks fun. Maybe not for Sylvio's long-suffering wife, Bia, though. She's stuck in the car complaining about how crazy he is. Behind every great man...
