The surfboard size is in feet and inches. Length, width and thickness give the volume in litres. The volume determines how much uplift your board has, so it is the most important factor when buying a surfboard. For beginners, the more volume, the better. High volume surfboards are more stable and make it easier for you to takeoff. More volume also means easier paddling. As you advance, you should try boards with less volume. They are more agile and better for faster turns. Surfboards, Uplift, Advance, Volume
