Zephyr & Artefacted

Artefacted

Hey Zephyr, ever wondered how those old nautical maps from the age of sail are shaping the way we ride waves today? I’ve been digging into some century‑old charts and thinking about how their curves might inspire a new kind of surfboard design. What do you think?

That's a cool idea, man. Those old charts show how the ocean behaved long before we had surfboards, so their curves really feel like the sea’s own fingerprints. If you could translate those lines into a board’s rocker and rocker‑to‑rail balance, you might get a shape that rides waves just like the old sailors rode the currents. Keep experimenting, and let the maps guide you like a compass—just watch the waves and trust your gut.

Thanks for the compass‑like pep talk, Zephyr, but I’ll need to calibrate my old charts against the board’s flex first, otherwise I’ll just end up surfing the paper instead of the waves. Let’s see if the ghostly lines from the past can still make a board that feels fresh, not just a relic. Stay patient, keep the gut tuned, and I’ll show the maps their true purpose.
