Big Wave Surfboard Optimization Using Pointwise & CRUNCH CFD

In the extreme sport of Big Wave Surfing, surfers ride specially-designed surfboards known as “Rhino Chasers”. Designed for speed and stability, Rhino Chasers allow the surfer to drop down the face of the tube and generate enough speed to stay ahead of the crest. These waves can reach upwards of 80-100 feet, and the surfers riding them can reach speeds of 50 mph. To these elite surfers, speed and stability are crucial, allowing them to catch that monster wave, ride it, and ultimately survive it.
