Low Volume Longboard SUP (dreaming one up)
surfafrica:
After a summer of small surf, I think it's time to get a longboard SUP to make the most of the conditions. I just sold my 8'6 RNB which was too big for me (8'6 x 30, 118 L) to a fellow Zoner. This time, I'd like to go low volume to really get a surfy feel. I'm thinking 8'10 x 26, 88 L. I'm 5'7 and 145 lbs.
Here's a pic of the design (I'm working with Kyle from Kronos):

How thick in inches will the sup have to be in order for it to have a volume of 88 liters?
surfafrica:
I'm not sure how thick it'll be. Maybe 3 3/4 or so? I rarely look at that number because the foam can really be distributed in different ways. I kind of use the volume in relation to the length/width/shape to get a feel for that spec (if that makes sense).
SlatchJim:
At those dimensions, you'd have a pretty easy time buying a normal longboard off the shelf and taking a paddle with you. :)
Here's a Weber Feather Fastback (6'6") That looks pretty close to where you're headed.
