There are almost as many theories about how to buy the right size surfboard as there are theories about how aliens arrived on Earth. They are here right?
So when we saw this in depth solution from Surf Shops Australia, we were pretty intrigued. I like the way they get into specifics about exact volume and allow for variations based on specific surfing level – I suppose you’ll have to be honest with yourself when you decide where on that chart you land. Or fall as the case may be.
Either way, this calculator – we call it the BoardSizer 3000 – should help you find your next favourite board. And if it doesn’t you can always rely on the good ol’ “how does it feel in my hands” method.
That’s been working for us for years. Mostly. We think.
