If anyone has been following along with my vacuum bagging experiments you've noticed that all have had a flat bottom. This is also true with boards that are pressed like Calibrated's skimmers and Zap and Phase 5 skimmers. Those boards use a bladder that expands and presses the divinycell into a rocker table. Also, boards like the Walzer and Victoria skimmers, which are vacuum bagged like I have been doing, typically have flat bottoms. Also, many of the molded boards like Inland Surfer have flat bottoms, because the tooling to shape the bottom contours is expensive. Well that and no doubt they don't feel the contours are necessary.
Many of the custom hand shaped board have concaves, V's, double concaves, etc. It's hard to do with light weight eps that is bagged, because the contour gets pressed out with the vacuum, while forming the rocker.
