Take a foiled hull (im sorry my mini-model is PERFECT, but it'll illustrate this for me just fine). Full S-Deck, rolled bottom, 50/50 rails, everything is good times:
A cross section of that line, the water's path and the shape that it flows around then, is a basic hydrodynamic foil...like your fin's foil. It creates lift and DRIVE:
When you put your hull on rail, when foiled well and the elements are placed correctly, your board becomes a lift generating foil. The more prescise your foil is (entry foil is your nose rail, exit foil is the thickness of your tail), the more efficient your board is, the more is effectively displaces water and creates lift...
EFFICIENT SPEED.
