Plan is to make a little stepup, only 2" jump. Its going to be the wider nose, wide point forward style to keep things short yet voluminous. Goal is 5-7ft new jersey beach break crutch.
What kinda rocker numbers should i put in this? I was leaning towards the 4.75 " and 2.25" but i dont actually know what im doing so…
Sounds fun. Tail rocker of 2.25" sounds like a good wave board to me, but nose is too low for decent waves. I’ve generally found that nose rocker of about 6.9% of the length and tail of 2.7% works well in an everyday board. I’m generally surfing board around my height (6’1") so that gives me a shade under 2" of tail and a bit over 5" of nose.
Here’s a few popular board models measurements for comparison:
Hope that helps.
Supposed to be a good wave board
i was thinking to keep the nose rocker lower, in trend with the movement towards wider noses and shorter step-up boatds.
OG flyer is the first shorter/wider commercial model that ican remember. So it’s still has roots in the glass slipper era.
interesting notes on themonsta box.
still leaning towards keeping my rockers at those numbers. I can still be swayed tho.
If you’re only going up 2" I would keep rockers the same as your daily driver. Have you watched the Pizel interview on Surfline? If you are a strong paddler and dropping in under the lip I wouldn’t shape you anything different other than a little more foam under your chest. Just my 2c…
Well sir im an average paddler at 220lbs and an average wave catcher. Better once on my feet than i am at wrestling waves away from the lineup. My best chances are to sit on teenagers and scowl haha.
those numbers are more or less my shortboard numbers scaled up 2". A touch more nose rocker but not much.
