New models = new master rocker templates


With every new model means new master rocker templates. This new rocker template is for Damian his shape requires special TLC for this special design, it will be for a new "XXXL sized" The Blend Model. There are no blanks available to accommodate this shape due to the volume needed and the unique rocker and foil, so it will be shaped from an over sized blank. A USBlank 82A will be the blank used for a board the will be around 7'4" - 7'6". This new rocker will be deck rocker matched from center of rocker to center of blank. This will allow max thickness in the center and good thickness on the ends.

I border on being obsessive in keeping detailed XLS file/record since the mid 90's of every shape I've made. Its been an invaluable tool at my finger tips to reference, helps formulate the next custom with no guess work of the customers history of shapes.

  2. Alex, oh, it's no big deal. I'm sure all the other shapers this or something similar. Those boards are a crack up filled with a bunch of haters and jealousy. Everyone is an expert with no real practical knowledge or old claimers. Although I find them entertaining!
