Numerical CFD Investigation of Shortboard Surfing: Fin Design vs. Cutback Turn Performance by David Shormann, Luca Oggiano, Marc in het Panhuis

“…The fins with surface features included designs with a partially grooved and serrated surface (CR), and humpback whale-inspired fins with tubercles and other features (RW). Surfboard roll, pitch and yaw during cutback maneuvers were simulated based on field data from surfers of intermediate, expert and professional (WCT) skill level surfing on ocean waves. …”
