Alright so been thinking about rockering my rn I have everything out of my ski de turfed thanks to my multi tool now I'm at sanding the hull what grit should I use for peeping for the fiber glass so it sticks the best and should I do a carter b rocker kit? Or should i shim it?

And I'd like to hear from everyone if its a good idea or bad what's the perks and down falls to rocker and shorten the ski I'm 6 foot 2 and I'm 165 pound rider more in to freestyle don't like going super fast so I figure It don't matter on that part also dose anyone know if there are anyone making the rocker kits still? And one more thing the sand paper I use for glass prep will that be the same paper I use to take off the paint sorry for :):):):)y spelling and ect lol and all help and haters are welcome and thanked

I make the original Carter b kits still its is good for surf riding it gives you more pop off the wave and if u are dropping in a wave it helps from making tge ski pearling your can use 320 grit to sand the hull and prep for glass tge rocker kit comes with a template to cut the hull and directions to put it on

Just depends on how much work you want to do. Personally, buying the ready made nose would be MUCH easier. If you want to really shorten the nose substantially beyond what that kit offers be sure you are comfortable with glass work. I did the shim method because they don't offer cool looking rocker kits for squares but I got to shape the nose how I wanted. Good luck!
