Other suggested stringer options here – or choose your own. Designer Comments: Intended for classic longboard designs under the 9’6” range. The natural rocker is about in the middle of the demand curve. But remember, the further you change the natural rocker curve the wider the wood stringer it needed to hold it from spring back. Volume is 118 litres. The perfect longboard blank and truly a classic. No rocker change needed….
