It looks like our chance to implement a rocker standard is quietly vaporizing. HEY, WE NEED THIS, and I don't think we need a quorum to underwrite it. Lets just say we will use Nick's last post on the subject and that it is the Kayak Forum Standard. Then, being the only island in the sea people will crawl up on its beach and be saved from Lackofstandarditus and fuzzyspeech, (i.e. This design has adequate rocker).

Like any legislation it may need future modification and interpretation but lets start with this and begin to use it: "You could also look for the point where the depth is 50% of the distance between the DWL and the baseline, then measure the relative distance of that point from the ends vs the distance from the ends of the lowest point" (see previous Nick Shade post in this thread).

: measure rocker? A method that is quick and easy and repeatable so that we
: can all talk about rocker and be describing the same attribute of a kayak.
