yes ussualy more rocker gives you more pop and softer landings. my guess is by taking down the rocker they added more speed to the board and made up for the pop somewhere else. |

Also if a board has too much rocker it can create excessive drag or cause the fins to cavitate especially in rough water. Maybe CWB was having problems with this. _________________ Skiing made me board,

More rocker doesn't always give you more pop. You want enough rocker to guide you up whatever wake you're riding. If you don't have enough the tip of your board will punch through the top of the wake, if you have too much your board will be slow. _________________ Why Vegan? |

There is a good article in the last Wakeboarder gear guide on types of wakes and rocker in boards. |

the biggest factor affecting pop when it comes to rocker is not the amount of rocker but more-so the rocker type. 3-stage rocker gives u more straight up pop and continuous rocker is more of an "up and out" flight pattern. amount of rocker does make a small difference but not near as considerable as the type of rocker.... |
