Caught me out there, an American talking about weight in kg. nice!
Me i am 185 pounds ( 84kg), all my boards are between 32 and 33L, I tried bigger boards and what I found is that I dont catch more waves on a 34L than on a 32L, I might get in earlier but not that much, and for the average wave I surf in Sydney I dont think it s worth for me to ride bigger volume cause once i m up and running I just dont like feeling so much foam under my foot, everything seems too slow
I like how the Aussie accent is slowly taking over your American Accent haha
The fact that it would be incredibly hard to hand shape a custom board to a specific volume should be taken into account when listening to shapers complaints. Sure volume absolutely isn’t everything, but my god it’s helpful. People getting into micro adjustments in volume might be kind of ridiculous, but still, in general volume is a very helpful measurement to know when purchasing a board.
Thanks for repping for the big guys! What would you say is your go to everday shortboard for average knee to chest/shoulder surf?
There is a huge factor is surfboard technology that a lot of people do not understand. Weight is one of the most important factors in surfboard performance. Almost every pro I have talked to knows their weight down to the ounce. "Displacement" is the amount of space that a substance or object occupies. "Displacement in water" is the occupation by a submerged body of volume that would otherwise be occupied by a fluid. For surfboards, volume is not displacement, volume + plan shape + weight = Displacement in water. A 44 liter surfboard can weight 5 lbs or 10 lbs depending on density or weight of material used in construction. Once you learn the plan shape you like i.e. Sci-Fi, volume you like and the right weight, you will be able to pick the best boards for you. Shape+Volume+Weight= Sick ride!
I ride a 24 liter board it's a 5'2 fish love it
The one thing hardy talked about on boards is planing area. I ride paipos and have foam and fibreglass about 25L and wood about 5L, but they have very similar planing area, the wood board is faster as it has less rocker, once planing the volume of the board has little effect compared to the planing area, it you then try to turn again a rail, the rail volume then comes into play. Also think about how fast wood alaias and how low there volume is. Volume helps you paddle around without sinking and help the board work as a displacement hull while you paddle for a wave before it become a planing hull.

thanks for the review mate, you sort of made me half confident that I sort of know where I'm at with my volume, shape, length vs my weight and ability.
I don’t think this channel is well respected enough the knowledge these guys can provide is unparalleled
Thanks Ben for all your informative vlogs. I love the passion you have for this sport.
exactly, thank you. it's a point of reference. something to consider when choosing the right tool for the right job. cheers.
Great video thanks so much for the invaluable advice.
Love your reviews! Keep them coming.....anything to help save on these $900 "experiments" which never really end.
Incredibly helpful- thank you!
Great video, I think this this was a much needed video for a lot of people. Keep up the good work!
Sweet video on volume Ben, I used to work for Sky Surfboards in Byron Bay and was a rider for many years. Never once was volume discussed. I tried many times to get my shaper to add more volume to my boards, but he always followed fashion. I wasn't a board designer, so was basically brushed aside and given boards at cost price,,,told it was best for me.
