You need to consider the following factors when choosing a board based on volume.
Other factors such as the surfer's skill level, weight, and wave conditions should also be taken into account when selecting a board. It's important to note that the volume of the surfboard is not the only factor in determining the best board for an individual surfer. The list above shows how widely the volume can differ. Examples of surfboard volume in Litres by surfboard types: A surfboard with a sider nose that is consistently thicker along the length of the board would have a greater volume. The important thing to keep in mind is that the width and thickness of a board is maximum measurement at the widest and thickest point. A shortboard is a different type of shape than an egg, and two boards with the same length, width and thickness measurements would likely have significantly different volumes. Two surfboards can have the same length, width and thickness as each other while being totally different board shapes. Volume is dependent on the total board shape. This is a rough approximation and will not be 100% accurate for most boards, and this is due to the differences in shapes and dimensions of individual boards. This calculation can be used as a guide only. So, for the final calculation for a shortboard (using the 0.54 factor), the volume would be: Shortboards have less volume, longboards have more. Different shapes have different volumes, which is where the uncertainty can come in. We then need to take into account the shape of the surfboard, and multiply the 47.2 by a factor of between 0.54 and 0.6. This would be the volume of a surfboard if it were a regular cuboid, and as we know, surfing on a board shaped like that would be impossible. If you have a surfboard that is 6 feet (182.88 cm) long, 20 inches (50.8 cm) wide, and 2 inches (5.08 cm) thick, you would calculate the volume as follows: This is done by multiply the width/length/thickness value by 2.54 (1 inch equals 2.54 cms) Volume calculation example You’ll need to convert inches to centimetres for the calculation to work. You’ll normally find measurements in feet and inches, while volume, when given for a board, will be in litres. Typically, surfboard dimensions are given in imperial, not metric. This formula converts the measurements from centimetres to litres. Volume = (Length x Width x Thickness) / 1000 Once you have these measurements, you can use the formula: Length, width and thickness measured at widest point To calculate the volume of a surfboard, you will need to measure the length, width, and thickness of the board.
