it would be easy to turn and in that respect my turn would be less drawn out with less power. but i would not enjoy surfing this kind of board. it would be a 6 6 by 19 with a rocker of about 5 5. i can ride a modern outline shortboard designed for my hight and ability. if your rocker entry is around 22 to 26 mm at the 12 inch mark you should be in the ballpark. i tend to ride boards my hight or less and prefer these sort of retro outlines. 5 1/4 is plenty for just about as hollow waves as you want.

I keep my shortboard rockers around 4 1/2 to 5 depending on waves. a fish nose rocker can be as low as 3inches. fish have wider tails lower tail rockers and straiter rail in the tail and very different fin setup.

A modern thruster can have a fish rocker entry but go nothing like a fish. i really didnt start making noiticeable inroads into speed tunning until i looked seriously at rocker entry in relation to surfers center of gravity and stance width. its hard to really work it out on a program as i shape it by eye and measure. Hi mike i have found over the years and i got this stuff from mike daniel, was to look at rocker entry more closely.

It's a very exciting era of surfing that we live in, despite the ever growing popuarity of the sport, and we all know there is nothing better than surfing that 'magic' board! So if you have knowledge you would like to share, feel free to post your ideas on this thread! Look forward to seeing what you guys are working on!
