Looking for your help with some information I'm having difficulty finding online. I don't have the opportunity to demo a lot of boards and would love your help understanding how much boards of different volume differences sink when there's no wind. Assume that the weight I'm talking about is the TOTAL weight of everything (rider, foil, wing, board, wetsuit).

How much does the board sink at these weight differences between weight in kg and liters. Board is flush with water? Board sinks to your ankles? Board sinks to your calves? Waist?

+10 difference (80kg total weight, 90L board)
+5 difference (80kg total weight, 85L board)
0 difference (80kg total weight, 80L board)
-5 difference (80kg total weight, 75L board)
-10 difference (80kg total weight, 70L board)
-15 difference (80kg total weight, 65L board)etc.

Thank you!

Interesting how much weight is in your lower body, so the board floats when you're sitting on it vs. standing...
