What size surfboard should I ride for my weight?

Quivr uses the same starting point in the app. Weight in kilograms times a liters-per-kilo number: 0.60 if you are newer to hardboards, 0.46 for an everyday intermediate surfer, 0.40 if you are advanced. That number is a starting volume, not a length, and not a promise.

Starting volume by weight. The model pages below turn a row into a stock size when the chart has one close enough.
If you weigh	Newer to hardboards	Everyday	Advanced
120 lb	32.7L	25L	21.8L
130 lb	35.4L	27.1L	23.6L
140 lb	38.1L	29.2L	25.4L
150 lb	40.8L	31.3L	27.2L
160 lb	43.5L	33.4L	29L
170 lb	46.3L	35.5L	30.8L
180 lb	49L	37.6L	32.7L
190 lb	51.7L	39.6L	34.5L
200 lb	54.4L	41.7L	36.3L
210 lb	57.2L	43.8L	38.1L
220 lb	59.9L	45.9L	39.9L

Boards people open most

The 30 boards opened most often in Quivr. Each page answers “what size should I ride if I weigh this much” from that model’s stock chart when the catalog has one.

Three popular boards from every brand

Shops that print “or less” on a size chart use a wide band. Quivr names the stock row whose liters are closest to the starting volume, and only when it is within about 10 percent. If the catalog has no volume chart, the page says so and does not invent a length.

Wave fit still comes first. A board that wants overhead surf is the wrong board on a knee-high day no matter the liters. Read what volume actually means, then the size chart for the model.
