Surf calculators
Two questions come up before almost every surf purchase: how much volume should the board have, and how thick should the wetsuit be. These calculators answer both for your weight, your level and the water you actually surf in.
The surfboard tool draws a board to scale next to a volume range, so you can compare it with the boards you are looking at or already own.

Surfboard volume calculatorVolume is the biggest single factor in how a board paddles and catches waves, and the tool lets you check any board against your range.Gear
- Surfboard volume calculatorUse it when you are choosing a board, or wondering whether the one you have suits you.
- Wetsuit thickness by water temperatureUse it when you are buying a wetsuit for the water temperature where you surf.
Shapers differ, and volume is a starting point, not a verdict. Treat the range as a place to begin and ask a shaper or a local shop about the final choice.
Every calculator lists the sources it was checked against, and how we test explains the process. Your inputs stay in your browser.
