I just received my Walker Foam catalog today, and I have a question… Gene Cooper has mentioned in a past thread that he used the 10’3" blank with “Topanga” rocker for his Mellow Yellow Modelo. I guess I was expecting the catalog to give more info about common rocker adjustments. I am planning a 10’ with template based somewhat on Nuuhiwa lightweight. I have a feeling that the Topanga will suit my needs (from what I’ve seen of the MYM). Does anyone have any info about the different rockers for this blank?
Many Thanks,
Seay
Woops!!
I think you can make the call on the rocker as you wish. I had the opportunity to see the process and after they cut the foam in two they glue it up to the stringer which determines the rocker. You can bend the plugs a bunch. The various shapers have their rockers(stringers) on hand at the factory. With any luck you get what you tell em you want!!

i know Clark keeps all their pro shapers’ rockers secret…and i imagine Walker does the same. that’s not to say you can’t order the same measurements…you just have to know what they are…you can’t order the “Cooperfish - Device 2” rocker or anything like that.
or maybe i’m wrong.
