So as we head towards the fall I'm thinking of building my own board and the first question I have is rocker. <BR> <BR>My Is Yellow, which I enjoy riding, is pretty much flat except for the nose, the other board we have for reference is a 4'9" broadcast which has both tail and nose rocker but seems to be a dog in the water. <BR> <BR>I all <BR>ways thought the more rocker the more responsive to front/back weight shifts the board would be, but tougher to spin, but more agile. <BR> <BR>So what are the general principles of rocker with respect to: <BR> <BR>A) speed <BR>b) agility <BR>C) Spinability ? if thats a word <BR> <BR>Thanks! <BR> <BR>Ron

more rocker means easier turns less speed..less rocker means more speed,less turn..if your a beginner i would use a fish blank..if your a hot rod,i would use the new 5'8" fish rawson blank or even the tried and true 6'2R

Thanks Dog! <BR> <BR>I'm going to cut my own blanks so maybe I'll build a 2 versions, one with a more a <BR>aggressive rocker.
