Surfboard volume = your weight / 6

- Start date
A couple of spanners in the works is age and then also your body composition. Ecto, endo and mesomorph body types.
Lets revisit this to see what he’s riding in another 42 years.
for a given level of competency the bigger the person the more likely they are to be comfortable on a lower volume ratio. That formula won't work for small people - even Coco Ho uses more volume than that. I doubt it would work well for hefty blokes who rip either.
Close but not quite for me, as well. I'd have to add about 2-3 liters. I didn't watch the video, though, so I'm probably displaying my ignorance.
And Duff - I figured you'd be riding a board that is precisely 31.5 liters today. Sdsrfr probably appreciates that you didn't, though.

Yea I have a bunch of 27-29 liter boards and then some 30-33 liter boards. I dunno I am a mess
A liter too light for me but then I’ve never been pro level and I’m old as fuck, turned 62 this month.
It is my belief (with zero evidence or corroboration) that boards which are significantly shorter than your height can be ridden at lower relative volumes.
That GMM2 being so short and wide is actually probably just right for me.
I can ride a stock 5’8 Pod which I believe is just under 30L.
It’s not ideal and I’d never take it out in a crowd but it will work.
I’m tempted. So much so that I put it away in the garage.
I’d hate to put a big foot smash in the deck.
I divided it by 1 and it still seemed under sized, then I remembered that I run 5 fin boxes and that really sealed the gaps.
