I am about to build another wakeskate but this time I am going to go with a 3 stage rocker and concave. I am going to make a jig this time also. What I was confused about is does a 3-stage rocker have three flat sections or a flat central section and curved to the tip/tail? I don't want to screw up the rocker on the jig so I just wanted to know. I assumed that it was flat in the middle than a slight curve to the tip/tail but now I am not sure. Thanks for any help. This should be a fun project. I am going to try and do this one right because my first one was continuous with too much rocker and no concave and no graphics.

Anyways its not that pronounced but you get the idea. Good luck with the project man, sounds fun.

Hey, thanks for the help. I thought I would just fill in and say that I got my wakeskate done. Heres a few pics of what I made. No pics of the jig though.
