Decrepit I didn't quite understand your description of the rocker, here's my suggestion use a modern 265 to 280 slalom rocker line,
a.k.a. KA202
Thanks bluejuice,
Hope nobody, is small minded enough to flame you, if they don't agree, they can say so without flaming!
sharing rocker measurements is always a hassle, we all seem to do it differently, my method is to use a straight edge as a tangent at a specific point and mesuring the gaps along the board
Trouble is I have no idea about slalom rocker, except they're a lot flatter than wave. Hardie has a couple of Slalom boards, but not sure of their size or age, I'll check tomorrow.
I've measured this one again in 2 different ways. Set a straight edge on the 900 mm point, there is 8mm at tail and 220mm at the nose,
The last 1.3 meter is close enough to a continuous curve, then it accelerates to the nose.
Set the straight edge on the 650mm mark and there is a gap of 5.5mm at the tail and the 1300mm mark.
Must brush up on my maths, should be able to work out a radius from that. (OK spent a while blowing some cobwebs out of the maths dept, and come up with a radius of about 37 meters)
Your V is very close to the conclusion Hardie and I had just come to,
I have a feeling your rocker wont be a lot different either.
