Why don't most board manufacturers quote tail rocker? Width and volumne help you understand suitability for wind strength and rider weight but tail rocker helps with understanding how wavey a board is.

Possibly because to quote it would highlight the manufacturing tolerances.

lift or curve upwards behind back footstrap = slower but turns.
