Less Rocker equals..... Faster planing less pop and landings that bounce....If used correctly with some tip rocker, you can also have a nice carvey board that moves over and through chop nicley..
Last year I rocked a North Gambler with Boots and a Select with straps...SO different but so much fun for what you want to do.
This year, Team Seris with boots or straps depending on my mood....Very light with the NKB ronin Frank boots as a snowkiter I love my boots!!
For Sure Good luck to Youri!!

Wake style boards have less rocker- fact.

But I agree at your first point: More rocker doesn't equal bigger pop. More pop is result of a bigger surface that you can use to generate pop. More rocker and boots make it easier to handle the bigger surface and soften the landings.
No disrespect, but you gotta be corrected! the only way i can see you in the right is if your comparing a wakestyle kiteboard to an actual wakeboard. thats clearly not what this off topic debate is about. This is about boots in the pkra so wakestyle kiteboards vs freestyle kiteboards.eitan80 wrote:Sorry KonzaKonza wrote:Seems like you don't really know what rocker means right?eitan80 wrote:

No disrespecting but just 12 year wake/cable boarding, 11 kiting and 4 years internationally involved in the industry
It is not always like that, but indeed the tendency of wakestyle oriented kiteboards is to have less rocker.
Cheers
Are you really comparing wakeboards with kiteboards like Brent is assuming?! If not I don't care how long you've been around or what you think you're involved with - you're wrongeitan80 wrote: Sorry Konza
