Well yes and no. . . .

The rate of curvature is actually quite moderate compared with typical 9 or 10 footers, but is more than traditional OLO boards had.

A 9 foot section of the 17 footer has about 3.5 inches of rocker.

The board is good all rounder, for even more paddle speed, wave catching ability and unbroken swell glide a flatter version could be built.
