The moondog is slightly asymetrical. And yes the rocker on the moondog is 2", the life traps is 2.12". _________________ If you don't like my fire then don't come around. Cuz I'm gonna burn one down.

well, they're the same price so that's not a concern, will the slight difference in rocker make a difference? for someone who is 140lbs and 5'7", should i go 40 or 41? |

sharpe_fan4113, no, the difference in rocker is because of the difference in length. i'd say go for the 40. |

Do you know what symetrical means? Its the opposite. To sum things up one kick tail is wider than another, thus making one end skinnier (the front) and one end wider (the back) _________________ If you don't like my fire then don't come around. Cuz I'm gonna burn one down.

do they come with pre-drilled fin holes and fins? if so, are the fins pretty small? |

sharpe_fan4113, yes they have fin holes. Unless you wanna get crazy with the drill and make some holes for some bump fins. And CanalSk8er is correct, the differences reflect the lengths and widths of each deck. They are the same just scaled to each different deck. The fins are .8 of an inch perfect give and take I think, hold when you need them and let go with ease. Overall both are similar and are great sticks as are any board in the Oak line up. Its just up to you which one you dig on. _________________
