![]() What kind of board would you ride if you were me, with my dimensions?Īny tips or insight would be of help. Still super easy to catch waves with, and an easy paddler (however, too narrow because it was a grom board). I tried a groms 6'0" at 26l a while back and it had a completely different feel than my board does like it was more connected to the water. My question is, am I limiting myself with my 30L board? Does 5-7 liter do a big difference in how my board performs? I'm thinking of keeping it as a kind of step-up board for when more volume is welcomed, but I don't know. I entered my information in the Firewire Volume Calculator (Intermediate, above average fitness, 25 y/o and 140 lbs, I'm also about 5'8" in height) and got 25-28 liter in weak waves and 23-26 in better waves as my optimum volume. It's like I have to force it to turn as opposed to completely bein able to bury the rail and do quick transitions. Dont get me wrong, I can surf it for sure, but something about it just feels off, like it isn't doing what I want it to do. It doesn't feel as responsive as I would like it to do. I feel like my board in 3ft and up (max 5ft) surf is a little bit strange. I surf pretty much every day and have great fitness, and the waves we get are mostly smaller in the 2-3ft range. I have ridden way shorter grovler boards pretty much exclusively in the past and would consider myself an intermediate surfer. I recently got my first performance shortboard, a 6'0" with 30L volume. These guys'll draw you like French girls.if I scale that up for my weight then seems like the 5'7 or 5'8 is the go. the official page of the great reddit surf off Thanks - that seems to sit well in the Firewire volume calculator for you - midway between inter/beg and inter.Shortboard, Longboard, Funboard, Fish, Mini-mal, SUP, Sponge Details.Wiki Quick Links Beginners Guide to Surfing EnjoyĢ018 Title Winner Gabriel Medina & Steph Gilmore WSL r/surfing Fantasy Leaders Rank Want it to say where you surf and what you ride next to your name?

The more sections, the more accurate it is, but with diminishing returns for your effort - that's the theory that makes integral calc work. If it's a triangle, multiply area by 1/2 the thickness. If it's a rectangle, multiply area by the thickness. To get the thickness, for the same section, do the same thing on the rocker profile, break it up into rectangles and right triangles again. rectangles and right triangles, to figure out surface area (i.e. I'm with your original idea, get some calipers and measure width, and length at a series of points and turn them into shapes that can be easily calculated i.e. ![]() ![]() Using integral calculus would be a nightmare, depending on how accurate you want to be, due to the constantly changing angles, you'd have to take a lot of measurements. BoardCad or as drzoidberg stated, sink it, that'll get you the most accurate displacement, but you'd need a graduated bathtub to do so :)
