I was just addressing the fact that when U say increasing vee and I say decreasing it's actually the same as the absolute change at rail depends on board width becoming narrower

Just as I thought the thread may not be confusing enough

Looks like more than one definition exists. This is what it says on surf research

spiral vee
1. a vee in the bottom with concave panels between the rail and the apex of the vee.
2. (?) a vee in the bottom tail section that has its apex under the back foot, generally in front of the fin/fins.
Attributed to Terry Fitzgerald, circa 1974


both methods would create a deeper v.

Cool. So number 1 is almost every slalom board of modern times and half the wave boards.


How about toe in? That seems to be a clear answer

So going back to the original question.

This is the description of Scoop rocker from the QT wave on the Patrik website.


I think they mean the whole rocker as a continuous flowing thing......not sure too many of us could do double sliding rotations.
