Why does a rocker matter?

Rocker is the curve of a surfboard from nose to tail as viewed from the side. Crafting combinations of rockers is the shapers most secretive and skillful art. Most shapers have their own combinations which have been tried and tested over many years.

Surfboards with flatter rockers are faster and have more stability because there is more surface area in the water. This can help beginners or more competent surfers by using wave positioning to extract drive and flow to get maximum speed from the wave.

Surfboards with a more pronounced curve (more rocker) are more maneuverable but have less speed. Their curves fit well in the curved pocket of the wave.
