Frequently Asked Questions
The calculator multiplies your weight (in kg) by a specific volume factor based on your skill level and board type. For example, a beginner on a funboard uses a factor of 0.55 L/kg.
Choose Beginner if you're new to surfing, Intermediate if you can catch waves consistently, and Advanced if you perform maneuvers. Beginners need more volume for stability.
Yes. Shortboards have the least volume for maneuverability, while longboards have the most for stability. Fish and funboards fall in between.
