Do you add nose rocker to your boards

Dave Booth
some have rocker Phil..I think they look nicer but they certainly aren’t as quick..

Phil Macey
more of a bellyboard man myself, so do you put nose rocker in those?

Dave Booth
I did Phil and then someone said they were better without.I made one without and was surprised how much faster it was…my ply is cross grain so it flexes well….

Phil Macey
wow nether thought of that. But do the board hit a bit of chop and goes down and flips you

Dave Booth
not with the flex Phil, you can pull the nose up…

Phil Macey
i see, nice

Dave Booth
and where we surf in North Wales it’s usually sloppy onshore mess with lots of white water…

Phil Macey
Bugger me dave get your ass to cornwall mate. Nice waves and a solid crew in Newquay

Dave Booth
I wish Phil….Coming to the end of my surfing days….should have made the move years ago but family and work didn’t align..Anyway I’ve had some good years..Just glad I had all the 70’s and eighties without the crowds…I still like to get a wave to myself which is still possible in North Wales if you know where to go…fortunately I do…

Joe Mac
Did you use a template or measurements you found?

Dave Booth
the bellyboards are just standard 48/46 x12…the others I just drew out Joe…

Joe Mac
Thanks! Just looking it up. I think I’ll start with a belly board.

Dave Booth
don’t need rocker either Joe..makes life a lot simpler..
