I am wondering what are people's thoughts in relation to volume for sups or prone are most just sticking roughly to the volume they would on a normal board or have people started to go down or up a bit?

From what I hear prone riders are adding on a decent chunk of volume as it helps with easy paddling and doesn't make too much difference once your up.

What about with sups? Does a bit of extra volume make the board a bit too corky or does the foil help to counteract that? I imagine a bit more volume would add a little paddle speed and if your board is less sunk down in the water surely it would be easier to pop up onto the foil.

A lot of the latest shapes both prone and sup are packing as much volume into as short a length as possible. Obviously the main reason is that it means all sizes riders can get their shortest possible board but are the designers finding that a little more volume is generally helpful. Interesting to see blue planet has released the carver with the 6'2" having 142L!

I am currently on 125L (I weigh around 100-105kg) this is roughly the same volume as I would use in a surf sup and is quite comfortable. I think for my next board I might actually go up to 130l as this is an easy volume for me but not so much that it is corky
