Surfboard Volume Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the surfboard volume is:

\[ \text{SV} = L \times W \times T \times SF \]

Where:

\(\text{SV}\) is the Surfboard Volume (in³)
\(L\) is the length (in)
\(W\) is the width (in)
\(T\) is the thickness (in)
\(SF\) is the shape factor, typically between 0.45 and 0.65 depending on the shape

What is Loam?

Loam is a type of fertile soil that is a mixture of sand, silt, and clay, and it contains humus. Loam soil holds nutrients and has a texture that retains water long enough for plant roots to access it, yet it drains well, preventing water from sitting and causing root rot.

Example Calculation

Example:

Length: 72 inches
Width: 20 inches
Thickness: 2.5 inches
Shape Factor: 0.55

Step 1: Calculate the surfboard volume:

\[ \text{SV} = 72 \times 20 \times 2.5 \times 0.55 = 1980 \text{ in³} \]
