Figure 5.  Tail rocker detail. Tail rocker measures 2.375 inches. Such tail rocker falls within common short board tolerances but is extreme for a small wave design such as Sans. This design feature is somewhat inconsistent with the predominately speed-and-release oriented design elements incorporated into the board. This increased tail rocker is simultaneously a drag and control feature, creating a board which prefers to sit further back in the pocket when surfed off the tail. Accordingly, open face projection requires front foot drive off of the forward speed zone. Future iterations of the Sans design will likely incorporate less overall tail rocker. Again, the furnished tail rocker spec tells one little or nothing in isolation. Please refer to figure 3 for a more comprehensive perspective.  Again, stop asking us to share our complex super computer rocker modeling capabilities with you.
