the only dimension i don't comprehend fully based on the text & the diagrams here:

http://www.xs4all.nl/~ebb/kiteboard//html/krommen.html

is "step rocker" - is that supposed to be a concave rocker running lengthwise from rail to rail? (side edge to side edge on the bottom)




JUST getting into the sport now.

got a radsail pro 4m, but it's raining and i haven't flown it yet. (12.5 x 3.5 feet) and ordered a viokite VR8 that's zippable from a 8m to a 6m.

planning on making a board or two or 4 or more as i can make a handful of them for the price of one used one. regardless of whether i use ply, marine ply, foam core, fibreglass, carbon fibre etc etc - i can make many for the price of one.

see thread here with some links to building info:
