Board volume

Hi, Just wondering how you figure out a ROUGH board volume if it isnt stated on the board
dimensions: L- 265cms W- 55cms depth- 6cms
thanks

yep, it narrows down to a point at the bow(not a round bow) and flattens off really thin at the back so im assuming 100-105L perhaps
thanks

I would listen to the teacher;). Although I think your measurements might be off a bit an that makes a huge difference.

A less practical way to measure volume would be to fill a container (larger than the board) to the brim with water. Submerge the board in the container with the water just enough to ensure its completely covered (water will spill out). The water that has spilled out will be precicely the litre volume of the board. Alternatively the amount of water needed to fill the container to the brim will be exactly the same amount.

You can also attempt to use a cad program (i think someone has posted about it here) to try to design a board to exactly the same dimentions. You will get the volume from the program.

Or you can try to use graph paper and work out roughly the cubic centimeters and divice that by 1000 to get liquid volume.

Or you can take that dinosaur to the tip and get a board that has the volume written on it, which will be easier to ride and use.

Hey waggles did I pass my grade 4 math logic???

Willing to learn, so can someone please advise what type of easily-obtainable container you could put a board into, to either catch the displaced water or fill up the container after the displacement?

Aleeex, you might also consider this:

The figures for the Bics are pretty good: Bic say that for a 282, the volume was 107 L and for the 279, the quoted volume was 96 L For the 299, the quoted volume was 149 L.

Also agree with Waggles about going onto the JP site: have used this method myself.

Hope this helps.

But more importantly,are you concerned about static bouyancy or dynamic bouyancy? heh heh

Sounds like an old slalom board. Useless to learn on especially with the dimetions you provided.
