Some shapers include the sandwich material thickness in the volume calculation.
Normally around 10 Litres.
For example a board which has an 85 Litre EPS core (CNC calulated) will be rated as a 95 Litre board.
Not sure how much a double sandwich skin would contribute to actual float??
Why dont we include the footstraps and deckpads in the volume too..
Are you claiming divinycell does not float?
Seeing as though it is about 100kg / m3 that makes it 1/10th the density of water so I reckon it does float.
Thus....... any reason it should not be included in volume?
Obviously volume is the size of the board, regardless of the fact some is PVC foam and some is polystyrene foam.
No, remember, according to Seabreeze Folklore, there are two types of shapers, Oldschool and Newschool..
Oldschool Shapers measure volume by how much it'll float, this is called 'Oldschool Volume' and is believed to be the most noble form of floatation.
Everything was peaceful until a Dictionary was uncovered under a pile of ancient boardshorts. Then, a civil war broke out amongst the Shapers over the use of the word 'volume'. New School shapers wanted to use the Volume measurement to literally measure the
volume. But the Old School Shapers decided this was Windsurf Blasphemy, punishable by excommunication.
The 'EPS core volume' shapers must be a recent denomination. It won't last long, just like the "Virtual Volume In A Canoe Sect"
