Rocker profile comparison

    Is it possible to get a rocker comparison page up for the firewire and lost models similar to what Eric Arakawa has on his website http://www.ericarakawasurfboards.com/surfboard-models-eric-arakawa-north-shore-oahu-hawaii/rocker-comparison.html please?  I would find it very useful in helping me decide my next firewire purchase given that I cant view the boards before ordering. Thanks

    There is a section on the web site where you can compare foils visually, but not in a numeric chart.


    I think it would be nice to have this visual data incorporated into the board comparison software.

    Gnubee a numeric chart for comparing rockers is exactly what I would like to see. Whilst the foil comparisons are useful, I would find a numeric chart much better for showing the differences in rocker between models.  Be great, like you suggest, if that could also be introduced as part of the board compare function.

    It's an old image, so quite a few board models is missing...

    Erling thanks for the piccy.  I still struggle to usefully see the differences in rocker from looking at the picture.  Chris are you able to provide some rocker numbers please? I am most interested in hellfire, alternator, futura, subscorcher, stealth, spitfire/dominator, f1 and flexfire around 6'2" length.  I would be more interested in nose (entry rocker) if that makes any difference. Thanks
