    I truly don't know, but I suspect the Bourez will have more rocker than the Alt. maybe Chris or Nev can comment on this. My personal view is most mortals can do with a touch less rocker than the pros, but I have no idea if that's a commonly held view.

    The MB will have more rocker and a little more refined foil and more sensitive rails, I'd have thought.
    The Alternator will be a little more user friendly and stable, but compared to the Taj and Flexfires I think the MB is still going to be very user friendly.

    yeah buzzy good call there! I do think there are certain boards where progressive rocker COMBINED with a good template can make the board go great for the average to competent surfers.

    to your point, i think that is why the industry went shorter and flatter for so long....
