That is what his site says but it seemed hard to believe based on theory .The shape is so perfect aerodynamically that any apparent wind off the nose has to generate considerable side lift .Such seems to be the problem with a very good aero shape .

Spoiling that perfection seems the only way to get a rideable shape , something rideable in real world conditions .
