onefoot CA Rider Location:	Complete specs I own a Slalom62 which is a very good board, and I appreciate very much your detailed specs about every board. I would wish every company was doing this, some even don't give the width one foot off! But what I don't understand is what you mean with Rocker/1.2 and Rocker/1.8? What is measured here and from where? Does it mean 120cm, 180cm from the backend? And for boards with no planing straight, where do you start from measuring Rocker? Regards onefoot

mikecoker Member New Zealand	Hi onefoot, You are correct in thinking that the 1.2 and 1.8 refers to a measurement that is taken at 120cm and 180cm from the tail (backend). The 1.2m + 1.8m measurements are standard points of measurement so you can judge the 'intensity' or 'acceleration' of the rocker line/curve. On your Slalom 62, the planing straight refers to there being 760mm of flat surface measured from the tail and then it curves up towards the nose - a measurement that is taken while looking at the side profile of the board. Tail and Nose measurements are taken at the actual nose/tail point. Our graphics guy, OP, is in the process of making a glossary/info page which will be up soonish to make this information more visible for you and others. Thanks for your question, Mike

onefoot CA Rider	Hi Mike! Thanks for the explanation. It helped me a lot , but what I still don't get is the measurement of a board with no straight plane(like a waveboard) : At what point does the straight line(from which rocker is measured) touch the board (60cm from tail, 80 or 100? or?). With a planing straight of the Slalomboards its the last 76cm. I hope you can understand what I wrote above! I don't know how to explain it better without beeing able to make a graph right now. onefoot

james CA Team New Zealand	Hi Hans, great to hear the SL62 is working well for you, generally when we measure wave boards the straight edge will be touching the rocker line 1m from the tail.
