that rocker line looks really similar to a remote with how it is kind of an abrupt 3 stage.

i rode one last week out at the delta with Rich, and the board is awesome. im not a fan of wood decks, but it wasnt too bad. i could get use to it forsure. nice and snappy.

-=AlexXx=-, my other one i have has very abrupt concave compared to this, im really excited to ride it though. also my old one touches the ground with ease if you stand on it upside down. super flexy

lllongneck, i wasnt trying to bash your rocker at all. i could tell your's wasn't nearly as long as their's. remotes flat spot is about the length of the side concaves. i just noticed the concept of the noticeable 3 stages of the rocker unlike most boards where it is a gradual 3 stage

lowlife_slim, The concave on originals is wayyy less subtle and a lot more natural feeling.

jcoffey, we just did some thing new so you thing the old one is better i like the old one to the new one is steper.

the flat spot on the rocker is much shorter than the old and more abrupt. The rocker makes the board sit lower in the water, which is what makes the board ride slower, with more of a drag feel..

Not my thing, but some people like that kind of ride. I prefer a much faster board. I like the rocker on Jordan's first Woodworks a lot.

lllongneck, it's hard to tell what you just said.

andrewt, just saying the old one was key. and you are right about what you said about the rocker. but the new rocker can pop out of the water pretty hard!!
