Rocker is the curve in the board. So if the board is flat on the ground, the more rocker it has, the further the tip and tail will be from the ground. Did that make sense??

yeah thats a good explanation...so if it says rocker 2" is that 2 inches at each tip to the ground?

To be honest with you, I never pay attention to rocker with wakeskates. Most are about the same anyway. I guess it is just what you prefer. It really isn't a "good" or "bad" thing. As long as the board isn't just completely flat, it should be fine.

Grip. Wakeskate=skateboard. In other words, I prefer the skateboard feel.
