Surfboard Volume Calculator

This gives a recommended surfboard volume in litres from your body weight, your ability and fitness, and the kind of waves you surf. It applies the Guild Factor rule, body weight in kilograms multiplied by a factor, using the four bands of the shortboard table published by ...Lost Surfboards, and it shows the whole band rather than a single figure. A second mode divides a board's volume by your weight instead, so you can see which band a board you are considering actually lands in. It is a shortboard table, so anyone still learning to catch waves needs far more foam than it suggests, and a shaper fitting you in person governs over any chart.
