I've always wondered if other people do this when trying to copy bottom properties onto different sized boards. I'm thinking of making a 6'3 rendition of the dwart, for instance, and I've found info on swaylocks regarding rocker for the 5'8 which are T-1 15/16 N-4 5/8. Since my board will be 10% longer, I am thinking that the appropriate amount of rocker would be T-2 1/8 and N-5 1/16 to achieve the same rocker feel. I've used this strategy on other boards (fish and egg), but not with quite the dramatic change in size. My findings are that they ride similarly, but I'm wondering what others do when trying to replicate similar rocker properties onto different size boards.

dcasey, where are your findings on searching the archives?
It is all there my friend.
I searched (as I always do) and didn't find exactly what I asked. Can you post the link?
