Find Ideal Volume

Volume should be a guide, not a rule, and this chart can help you figure out a good ballpark volume for you to base your boards off of.

Ability/weight/volume numbers are not exact science, but will give you an idea of where to start. This chart is assuming that we are talking about a basic performance board to be ridden in average/good waves.

• Generally speaking you would want to ADD volume for a board designed for smaller, weaker conditions
• You would ADD volume for a step-up board for use in bigger, more powerful waves
• Wearing a lot of rubber (thick wetsuit, booties, etc.) adds to your weight and diminishes paddle power, so ADDING a little additional foam will help you.
• You want to balance the added ease of paddling (more volume) with sensitivity and performance (less volume)

Taking care of your board is essential for maximizing its lifespan and ensuring you have the best experience on the water.

• Rinse after each use
• Store properly out of direct sunlight
• Regular checkups for dings
