2cm Point

Referring to the points on the rocker profile of the board where the nose rocker has raised the board (from the flat profile usually found beneath the footstraps) by 2mm, and 2cm, as measured from the tail. Comparing the position of these points between boards gives a useful measure of how differently they will perform. Boards with their 2cm quite far forward will work better with bigger sails, and offer greater
upwind performance, while boards with the 2mm and 2cm points further back and offer easier nose clearance through chop and will turn easier generally, particularly in the wave sailing environment.
