Board Speed vs. Water Temp?
« on: March 13, 2013, 05:05:41 AM »
Anybody have a guess as to how much (if at all) speed is impacted by colder water? I could be wrong, but I think colder water is more dense, but are the differences actually enough to impact speed over a range of 40F to 80F?

So the board would displace less water at cooler temps and float you higher? Factor in salinity too! That's my guess.
