Subject: Surfing hulls
We raced a 34R extensively......I recall the hull on this one to be flat
from the leading edge of keel forward to the bow.......not from the keel
back to the stern.
I don't ever recall getting this 34R to surf.....now we rarely wound this
boat up to its full potential unless we had a John Roy on board for a race
and even then I don't recall surfing.

The Rob Ball designed 34+ / XL / R series have a flat surface
on the bottom between the leading edge of the keel and the
stem. The folklore says it's supposed to be a planing section
to help support nose when running the Spin and keep the bow
from "diggin'in" / surf the backside of bigger waves.. The
waves on the lake are not big enough to surf / my spin is not
quite ready yet. I can't speak from experience.
Perhaps Chuck S can comment on his experience with his 34 R
surfing waves off the coast of Atlantic City?
I did miss an opportunity to test the fast stuff this saturday,
winds were in excess of 30 knots and the weather was gorgeous.
I did not have a crew so I watched-it from the dock as I was
doing some needed topsides and decks cleaning / waxing..
