Out of curiosity, I measured my X32 and it came up short.
It doesn't bother me, just wonder if the volume is actually 141l.
Anybody?

Could it be that you are measuring in a straight line from the tail to the tip, and Naish measures across the surface of the board, incorporating the rocker? Not in a habit of measuring my boards.. but I can recall having found measurements do vary, when Ive done so.
The old original 14' Glide (banana board) was actually about 13'9" or something like that.. Don't know what Robby was thinking.. 
The SIC Bullet V1 14ft is actually only around 13ft 10". The V2 is exactly 14ft, when measured the same way.
I think it is quite common for boards to be different lengths than claimed, and some of it probably does have to do with the rocker measurement issue, and sometimes it's probably more about marketing. Same thing with volume, I think. It's probably best not to buy a board solely on their claimed dimensions.
You're right, LordKuz; when measured along the bottom, it measures 8'-8" (inc the rocker).
