If you’ve ever seen someone riding waves on a surfboard, you might have wondered if it would be possible to make a surfboard fly out of the bed of your truck. After all, people have been doing extreme sports stunts with skateboards and snowboards for years and it seems like it would be easy to do the same with a surfboard. Unfortunately, the answer is no – a surfboard will not fly out of your truck bed.
Surfboards are made from materials such as polyurethane foam and fiberglass, which are not aerodynamic enough to generate lift when propelled through the air. This means that even if you tried to launch one from your truck bed, the most it would do is flop around a bit before landing back in the bed. The only way to get a surfboard airborne is by attaching an engine or other propulsion device to it.
The reason why skateboards and snowboards can fly out of trucks is because their materials are designed for aerodynamics. Skateboards typically have a single piece of wood with multiple layers of fiberglass overtop, which creates an aerodynamic shape that can generate lift when propelled through the air.
Snowboards are usually made from composite materials like carbon fiber or Kevlar that create an even more aerodynamic shape.
Plus, these boards feature specialized designs that allow them to perform tricks and stunts such as grinds and grabs. These tricks require precise control over how the board moves through the air, something that is impossible to achieve with a surfboard.
In conclusion, while it might be tempting to try and make your surfboard fly out of your truck bed, unfortunately this isn’t possible due to its lack of aerodynamics and specialized design features.
