Rocker for a 9'6 Wave/Allround SUP
« on: June 16, 2014, 07:02:52 AM »
hi folks,

I'm completely new to SUP-Boards.
I alraedy built some surfboards and I wonder if I can take the same rockertable for a SUP as for a "normal" surfboard...
I want to build a 9'6 32'' 4''1/2 Wave/Allround SUP.

My 9'6 longboard has 4''5/8 nose and 3 1/2 tail rocker.
Is that ok to start with? Or do I need more rocker?

best regards from Germany,
Andi

What kind of break do you surf? Steep fast? Mushy weak rollers?
It's not overhead to me!
8'8" L-41 ST and a whole pile of boards I rarely use.

Maybe 3" in the tail. Leave a little more volume in the tail too. The 4- 1/2" is good for mushers. I would put just a little flip at the nose. Put a little bevel in the bottom rail for the front 1/3 of  the board (like a 50/50 rail). It helps in more ways than one on standups.

Just a suggestion.... if you want to copy a great all around rocker on a 9'6 SUP.... get ahold of a  Naish Mana 9'5 and take your measurements from that.

I have owned both the new model, 2014... and the previous version, 2013 and older

2014 surfs great in all conditions. It can handle a wide range, from ankle slappers to overhead waves.It is not nearly as good on flat-water as the older version. I think if you made a lighter version of this board, it would be a great "1 board quiver".

2013 surf very well in small, mushy waves, but is a handful in bigger waves..... it is a good flat-water board.
