whats a good average tail rocker to start at before playing around with more or less.
first off it depends on what type of surfboard you’re talking about.
Raw numbers can be misleading - I’d say 2.5" for a shortboard up to 4" for a longboard.

You can tweek the same numbers like a car loan, but its how the numbers are put together that matter. My suggestions is to look down the bottom of every board you see and catagorize what you see for later use. I look for symetry, clean lines and transitions and how the rails egde relates to the rocker. 2 1/2" here and 4" there don’t mean a thing if they aren’t connected at all the dots.
