"Better to have holes in your board than in your logic" - Surfocrates

Louis: I made so many holes! Grace: MORE HOLES!!!!

“It’s like a bidet!” Great video Louis! Love it when you and Grace hang 🤙🏼 Oh and nice studio btw 😉

I mean I was gonna ask how many surfboards can we put in a hole before it stops working... But yours is a better idea.

Louis In two years: how many holes can we put in a person before they die? There’s only one way to find out!

My guess is that as long as you can stand on it it's gonna work fine

Since barefoot waterski is a thing, I guess you can add so many holes you just remove the whole board.

"The hole actually makes the bord better" ... and thus, the Louis & Grace surfboard empire is born haha. Also, I wonder if the angle of the holes would have made any significant differences. I mean, since the theory is that holes reduce drag as there's less surface area, I wonder if making the holes at an angle would help as you could potentially reduce the drag caused by how the water hit the inside of the bord.

It can stop working after only 1 hole, just need a big enough drill

You should do a series where you just put holes into something until it stops working.

Grace: “Take your GoPro off your head and redo all of this” Louis: “I look goofy in all my stuff” 😂

“That’s a lot of holes tho” -Louis Weisz 2021

Sequel: Can you surf without a surfboard?

would love to see what happens when the holes are drilled to where the water flows at an angle upwards

The hole's who'd increase drag . The water is jetting out of hole's because the edges of the hole scoop up the water.the flatter the surface the less drag it who'd have in the water. My bes guess is that the hole's created more drag making it more stable / easier to ride.

I love grace so much, she's so much fun!

“Somebody needed to get to the bottom of this.” Are we talking about the lake?

Someday Louis is gonna be drilling holes in a human brain to see how many it takes before consciousness is erased

That looks so sick! You barely tell they’re standing on anything!

Louis looking at anything: How can i make this already complicated task more complicated?

I require more testing. Does the angle of the holes make a substantial difference? Or, Golf ball divets on a board

This reminds me of the FliteTest jenga plane a while back

Grace is a jack of all trades...I just picked this random vid, freaking awesome!!

This video was awesome and it’s a great thing to watch when I’m needing a laugh

The good news is, as long as you stay on land, you can punch 10,000 holes in it and it will work!

Man tried to break a board and invented a shark tank product

I feel like where you place the holes is most important. The rear is where the pressure is developed. The front would cause some issues if you get too forward and it catches, bringing the nose under. Or sum

I would assume it's like a golf ball in where there's now enough holes to grab a layer of water, causing water to slip on water which is more efficient than board on water. I guess I'm not a smartoligest.

You should have collected data on the drag of the board with a scale on the pulling rope. A data-logger there synced with the test footages would've given you info on wether it drags more or less.

Now it's time for the ultimate test. If you have a really small boat and fasten multiple leaf blowers to it on max setting aiming backwards can you get enough momentum to move.

this deserves at least a million

LLLOOOOOUIIIISS ! thanks for the new content ! always love your stuff , Take care brother

Ayyy finally another quality video on this platform

That was super cool!! 🤩

she looks so excited i love her

I can already see it now. People are going to start researching how to make the ideal surfboard by putting holes in it.

The physics do change because a surfer paddling for a wave goes from a dead stop to having to paddle the board with holes, or drag like a keel, to popping up and riding it. Basically behind a boat your able to forgo the drag by muscling the rope your holding onto. You can pull a log behind a boat, but can you paddle one?

Less bad board = better kinda makes sense ^^

So this is how Jack Sparrow got to that one port in his sinking boat!

If you do barefoot waterskiing, then technically you could "cover" 100% of the board in holes and it would still work.

I just finished watching The Shallows and this video notification comes out. Coincidentally, I was thinking of this while watching the movie lol.

What is you lean the holes to the front, so the table will still have holes but reducing the drag . What will be the minimal material required to mala a surf table?

It's like those public fountains that kids play in where the water jets up at random intervals

You should try to make a cement surf board to see if it’s rideable or do something with other materials that you normally wouldn’t think of being used to make a surf board

I remember going to my cousin’s house (she lives like right off a lake) and she was wavesurfing and our little cousin goes “I want to waterboard when I’m older”

Should have checked the minimum velocity to stable stand up with a standard board and the one with holes, because if the velocity is not been checked you may even able to "ski" on bare foots.

The surfboard works because it has been blessed, you see. It’s *holey.*

Well, those results surprised me. I also thought the holes would increase drag.

Hi, Phill Swift here, and I cut this surfboard in half.

You guys shlda drilled the holes in a 45 degree angle from the top down and angled from front to back. ( / ) You could get more holes, without the water spurting up thru the board

This sure is a question no one was asking, but I'm sure glad I know the answer now.

You can also remove material in a way that the drag is less, like lines instead of circles. Just a thought. This was really unique experiment.

Haven't watched it yet, but I theorize that the buoyancy wouldn't be an issue so much as the drag. More holes means more resistance to forward movement. If you angle or design the holes a certain way, you could have many more while minimizing the drag caused by them.

Okay I’ve started binge watching lol

This man is livin the life

Research "Wetted area" and it will help explain what you are seeing. Also, I think you could accomplish the same efficiency by dimpling the bottom of the board. It would reduce the wetted area and may trap air which would reduce drag.

Lol! Looks like it has hottub jets on it! 🤘🏻

I love your videos!

Imagine the board shooting away under your feet but one of your toes catches on one of the holes. ouch... Also, drilling holes in the surfboard does reduce drag but in turn reintroduce more drag depending on the angle of the holes. Think about swinging a tennis racket compared to beach paddle, less drag on a racket full holes. The holes being drilled straight down the thick surfboard does introduce some drag. It forces water straight up into the air when initially the water was flowing horizontal. Remember sticking your hands out a moving car with your palm facing forward? Changing the flow of air around your hand by rotating your hand to a more horizontal position you feel less drag. Angling the holes in the board more parallel to the flow of the water when riding it, will most likely reduce the drag on the board. But this will definitely reduce upwards force (lift). An airplane with Swiss cheese wings will have a hard time getting airborne. Meaning you will need to be pulled forward faster to get the same result as with a board without holes. Remaining high on the water, with less drag.

If you made the holes diagonal from the lower-front to the back-top so the water goes through without creating unnecessary drag what would happen?

from what you experienced, you have to try golf balls indents

Call the board “The Holy Board”

It's the princess of random! 😯

experimenting is a part of science, and topics like these are rare in youtube, your channel and you are a banger mate. i wish you can try to make more holes and increase the velocity, because with sufficient velocity a human can surf only with his legs

magically, louis weisz can surf without a surf board

how is my 2005 wakesetter out performing this super air nautique with wave size, im sure the push is more but my wave is significantly bigger than this.

Thats a great experiment

That surf bord is holy

4:27 bye grace have a good time 🤣

good video!! 👍

I believe it will work as long as you can stand on it

That surf board is very holy

Very interesting well let's see when Will it break instead of sink

3:52 reminds me of Homer slowly backing into the bushes

Alright, next is how many holes in a surfboard to use on the ocean, or that little one people use to slide on the wet sand, i dont remember the name

I bet if you were to drill the holes and coat the inside of the holes with sealer of some sort so water dosnt get sucked into the board it might work better and not be as heavy

this is the cheapest way to make surfing on a trash board more fun, maybe sand the edges of the holes and it'll ride even better!

You'd probably need a decent rig to test this but I'd like to see how many holes you can tap in a rifle barrel until the bullets don't come out

5:28 you have now hypnotized me

ahh the best way of making your vacation a business expense

You could have cut the holes at an angle to reduce drag kinda like how a cheese graters holes are.

make an update to this where you grind in the edges of the holes, so there is less drag?

The holes make them look like they are riding the water without the board

What happens when the water hits the walls of the holes? I still don’t think it is more smooth. Just novel.

“Every holes a goal”

That's a lot of holes though like... OW -Louis Weisz 2021

The water shooting out of the board... does this have anything to do with reducing drag? I'm theorizing that's less force on the board where the hole is, which means less horizontal drag, resulting all the force that causes drag to shoot out like a jacuzzi. Typing this random theory also made me think... what if it's creating vertical drag as it goes through the board? Basically, the water would drag across the side of the inside of the holes, converting horizontal motion into vertical, causing the board to get "lighter" in a sense? I need to sleep.

Its like surfing on a cheeseboard.

Now I want to go surfing 😭

I'm glad reys apart of this 😌

Hey! I know grace! She wouldn't remember me but i saw her on KZfaq. A whole bunch of times. :)

that's actually genius, like a golf ball surf board i need to see this developed professionally

I wonder what would happen if you reduced the depth of the holes so that they didn’t go all the way through the board

It would be interesting to see with holes at an angle

Louis here is asking the important questions

Hey Louis what if you made a surfboard where its under surface has a texture of a golfball?

Is this in texas? It looks very similar to a place I occasionally head over the summer to jet ski

What happens if you drill the holes in a 45 degree towards the back,i think you'll lose the fountains and start sucking air under the board.

Grace also likes being called smart! 10/10 grace was a great sport

If you have someone from tkor on your team you know it’s about to be crazy
