Get the number right before you spend the money
Every one of these answers a question people otherwise guess at in a shop: what volume, what length, what size. Each result links straight through to the guide that explains it.
Enter your weight, get the minimum volume in litres and the board dimensions that match how you paddle.
Open the SUP tool arrow_forwardYour height sets the length; touring, surf, racing and yoga each adjust it.
Open the SUP tool arrow_forwardWater temperature in, millimetres out — plus whether boots, gloves and a hood are worth it.
Open the All sports tool arrow_forwardWeight and wind in, wing size in m² out — plus the board volume and the beginner foil spec.
Open the Wing foil tool arrow_forwardWeight and wind in, sail size in m² out — with the mast length and board volume that go with it.
Open the Windsurf tool arrow_forwardWhich kite size to rig for your weight, level and the wind on the day. Metric input only for now.
Open the Kitesurf tool arrow_forwardEvery calculator on this site is a starting point, not a verdict. They work from the figures published in our own buying guides, so a tool and a guide never tell you two different things — a problem that is genuinely common elsewhere, where the same site will give you three different formulas on three pages.
Where a physical check exists, trust it over the arithmetic. The wrist check beats any paddle-length chart. Standing on a demo board beats any volume table. Use the number to walk into the conversation knowing roughly what you need, then let the water confirm it.
These tools take Fahrenheit, pounds and miles per hour by default, because that is what a US forecast and a US bathroom scale give you. Every one of them also takes metric, from the same dropdown — the arithmetic is identical, only the input changes.
The rest of Matosurf is written for a British and European reader and prices in pounds and euros. Those pages are still worth your time — the physics of a wetsuit does not change at the Atlantic — but where you see a price, check which side of the ocean it was quoted on. Our metric calculators for surfboard volume and kite size live over there.
