Rich Pavel has been one of the most influential shapers of the fish evolution. His master project was the Speed Dialer. Inspired in Lis Fish and hydrodynamic theories , this knowledge fusion in to this wave sliding machine. Fuller parallel outline, double to single concave , his canard quad fins (binary fision of the Keel Fin), double wings and the classic swallow tail defines this design.
I have the pleasure to meet him in San Diego at the Sacred Craft Expo. When I told him that I made the trip from Puerto Rico, he was surprised and inmmediately told me " I know that you also have a Rincon but with warm water" ,this brake the ice. This guy dedicate his time to teach me about the basis of hydrodynamics asymmetry in a very simple way to be understanded by a mortal. His contribution to the evolution of the modern high performance fish is written in the history of surfing. Thank's Rich and enjoy the ride!
