I would definitely make a drop through option. Deep concave is a must! The rocker should help with being locked in. IDK about torsional flex, You want the board to be stiff so it can be more predictable in a standing slide. However, a hit of torsional flex could be ok.
That is pretty much exactly what the NS soldier is, but with no torsional flex....check it out fifi

Rocker idea from their snowboards, concave shape suggested by me, even though it has rocker / concave like the comet boards, it is much different.

Default Re: Comet- A freeride/fun time deck

To summarize what I have gathered from the design thread:

Length: 40''
Width: 10"
Concave: 0.75''
Wheelbase: ranging from 32''
Symmetrical rocker 1''

We are digging all of the creativity that has gone into naming. Maybe we should get some ideas and nominate a few and then do a vote.

Also - I have read a couple of posts on pricing. Considering what goes into making a skateboard, what other board companies are charging, and the economy, what does this community think would be a fair price for this board and the process of co designing the ultimate shape. All of your thoughts on this would help us from a design standpoint and my influence how the Comet quiver progresses.

All in favor of the dimensions say eye!
If you have some other ideas of what is right please post it and lets work it out. Thanks to you all for contributing to the process.
