jasdeking said...see i saw this shot and wondered about rocker
see guy on the right no rocker nose diving
yet the fattish and balding dude on the left seems to have this slight rocker kick
is this where rocker helps?
is this where a diet helps?
is this where ashley and martin helps?
and is this where the no rocker blow in on the right goes home to byron where he belongs
IMO , rocker isn't really the difference and hard to tell from the photo but young bloke just neds to lift the shoulders press down with the knees and it should pop out. The large gent looks like a bigger board and got into earlier and cause he is standing his weight is back not forward like the guy paddling.
As for rocker, depends on what your going to ride it in, if it's steep beachies, a bit of nose kick help but a flat nose lets you get in earlier. The middle area is the guy with the planners job and ImO a bit of tail rocker to help turn them. iMO rocker, outline and the bottom is the pros job, only thing I discuss is length, width and thickness. Most decent shapers can figure the rest out after a decent convo about what your after.
