A meaningless thread about nothing - what's your volume to weight ratio?

[waxfoot]

Yeap, all the caveats aside (conditions, board type, time of year and just the fact it's bullshit and is just a mathematical result of the board's dimensions and design, etc etc) . As in the title, this thread is totally pointless and has no meaning, but somewhat interesting nonetheless.

My stats:
41
178CM ( 5.10)
80KG (178LBS)

Typically 31.5 L , and don't really much notice 1 L in each direction.

(As I was typing out the above, I realised that I'm too fckn stupid to work out what the ratio is I have to divide 80 by 31.5 right?)

185cm (6'1")
77-82kg (170-180) usually, sometimes fatter less often skinnier
29-30L but recently came to the conclusion that 30-31 would paddle a bit better and not change performance noticeably

 

[manbearpig]

165, liking boards around 28L these days.

My only normal short board is a CI Fever at 34L

i have a 5’8 twin keel fish that’s 32L

I have a couple other snub nosed 5’8s that are 29.6 and 29.

My AO twin is 33ish, maybe 32...

6-3 × 185lb. x 37yo

I like long walks, stargazing and about 33L of volume.

 

[sdsrfr]

6’1 165lb
29L shortbort
31L fish and step ups

was about a liter less all around pre-covid crowds.

 

[tedshred5]

5'10, 185 lbs
solidly intermediate
fishies and step ups are 32-33 L
shortboars and hybrids 30-31 L

Imperial or metric? Lulz.

RATIOS!

We are all too stupid to do the math

 

[waxfoot]

RATIOS!

Turns out we're all too fcnk stupid to work it out Just as well we're into surfing and not... well... something that involves calculating sh!t

 

[JLW]

170 lbs. roughly 23-24 liters for shortboards.

Wow. Roughly 6 litres less than Gabriel Medina.

 

[johnson7]

So if I take the median number of liters, divide that by the mode of twin fins (keels included,) I'll be able to find the range of side burns I should be growing, and my perfect "liter" board?
