W'assup Rockers!?

Interesting article on board rocker by Rusty. My hat's off to him for taking on
such a daunting design subject and breaking it down for the layman and shaper
alike.

The latest board I ordered is from a big name guy. Got the same general dims as my old locally made thruster but man does it surf different. Was having a harder time catching waves on the new guy even though, if anything, it looked to have more foam in it. Did a side-by-side comparison of old vs new. Turns out the tail has another 1/2-3/4" of rocker than my old stick. Ok.
