  1. Beautiful Roy....what are the rocker dimesions on this? I'm always facinated by these designs.

  2. Cheers Mason, she has 6 inches of rocker nose and tail. Because the apex is way forward that gives a moderate curve through the tail, and there's nearly half an inch of concave which reduces the rocker through the middle of the board also. Can't wait to get the board wet have been sanding and polishing the last couple of days, so she's ready for fins, then just a couple of days of studio photography ( grabs photographer's hat ;) ) and then free to go.

  3. Fully understood, so that's a more subtle rocker from apex to tail + concave, any/how much flex? What fins Roy, any tubicles involved. Brilliant bit of design, can't wait to see more photos.
