Where is the plan Luke?

Now that an adaptable rocker design has been formulated, it is time to work through the plan shape. This is the fun bit because it is here that you can make the board look really good (or really bad!). Also there is quite a bit of information available on the web- certainly more so that in the case of the longboard rocker. Note that some discussion of this was given in an earlier posting which can now be extended with additional information.

A really good starting point is the discussion on racing board design at LBWS and the reference in there to the Online Windsurfing Mag feature on Olympic board selection. Additionally, check out the board comparison chart here and have a look at the discussion about current and historical board designs on UK Raceboard (select the 'Choose a Raceboard' link).
