BoardCAD LE - Beta

[stoneburner]

If I understood @jrandy correctly, your Board CAD LE version can determine surfboard (SB) surface area.
IMO surface-area based bottom loading could really help dial in board size needed for individual riders in each category/style of SB.

Bottom Loading in Surfboard Design

Seems like “bottom loading” should be an important factor for surfboard design, especially since surfboards are “planing hulls.” bottom loading = displacement mass divided by the planing surface area Should be possible to determine a general, desired bottom surface area range for any given rider’s individual weight. Planing speed is significantly affected by displacement mass (load) and planing hull surface area. Did some searching and found a general recommendation (no substantiating source…
