Dude, this is the best and simplest information that I have seen or read on the choice of size and volume and type of a board, it confirmed my theory that I came to over the course of a couple of years. Thanks for that podcast brother
I'd like to know more about how each shaper/manufacturer determines their volume. If it's done by computer or actual testing of water displacement. The foam distribution, i.e. foil, rail thickness, concave or flat deck/bottom, beak noses, etc. all play into the overall amount of foam. I wonder how they initially determine the volume of each model? It's never talked about.
Agreed. If someone could come up with a foam distribution displacement calculation that would be much more interesting. Although it’s probably difficult to distil into one number. Much like the complexity of the economy being distilled into inflations cpi #. It’s a vector not simple arithmetic. #Bitcoin.
volume is generally just a number that is in the computer, which is literally how big the shape of the board is. get aku shaper or shape 3d they have free versions and mess around with it and you can see for yourself, volume only became a thing once these programs popped up
TLDR is, have a quiver for the right board and the right conditions and the style / feel you are going for. A boogie and swim fins also has its place. Fun in the ocean is fun in the ocean.
I just wish Album wasn't literally a manufactured case study for yuppie branding and google search optimization. I'd rather get a board from a shaper that came up through the trenches as opposed to one who spent big money upfront and parachuted in.
Hmmm. Pretty sure that Album started in the trenches, he started shaping in his garage like all other shapers. Good shapers should be happy to see an artistic shaper crafting different boards to the giant brands and happy to see that someone can charge a lot for their craft. Competition and free markets allow ingenuity

Hey man, just found this channel, really enjoying the interviews, digging your style with it all, look forward to more in the future

Yeah I think most of them use 3d modeling for the CNC shapes and that determines the volume
Even the shapers that say its all hand shapes, many of them lie. They know the volume because they use a computer.

for sure agree
Sick videos brother ! Devoured your playlist. It would be sick to have Troy Elmore speak a little bit about his craft !
thanks! my friend had one of his boards it looked sweet!
Walking into Album to look at boards is like going to look at puppies, you are always leaving with at least one
hahahaha

You can surf a door, if the wave is good enough.
