Hi,
I'm planning on building some rockerskis similar to Lotus 138s oder Armada ARGs. Does anyone have any more data on the dimensions? I can hardly find any data, just length and the three or five sidecut dimensions. But nothing on how high tip and tail are, how exactely the rocker ist shaped, how much camber the ARG got etc.
Does anyone know how to get that data?

I have seen the skis you speak of up close. More answers can be found on tgr re: the arg. couple mm of camber.
the 138 has a consistent rise rocker to a tip height around 60mm or so same in the rear rocker length of anywhere from 45cm -60cm in front. Its real gradual and rather precise. generally achieved buy controlling the heat in that part of the ski during curing to cause it to warp/bend up plus the mold/tip block. as I understand it. the mounting point on the 138s is slightly farther back then other fun shapes I have seen- could be why it is the most successful or its amazing weight to stiffness ratio. Others please feel free to correct me.
