Buying a board: How do I convert the board size?

Would you like to buy a new board and possibly compare different boards? This can sometimes be quite confusing for us Europeans, because the sizes given by overseas manufacturers are often not in centimeters, but in feet (ft) and inches (in). Our converter gives you more transparency.

For the Naish Hover S26, for example, the size specifications are as follows:

Model/SizeLengthWidthThicknessVolume
Hover Wing Foil 755’0″ / 152.4 cm24″ / 61 cm4 1/5″ / 10.7 cm75 L
Hover Wing Foil 855’2″ / 157.5 cm26″ / 66 cm4 3/10″ / 10.9 cm85 L
Hover Wing Foil 955’17” / 170.2 cm27 1/2″ / 69.9 cm4 1/5″ / 10.7 cm95 L

Fortunately, in this case the centimeters are also given in addition to the measurements in feet and inches. One foot corresponds to 30.48 centimeters (1 ft = 30.48 cm). And one inch corresponds to 2.54 centimeters (1 in = 2.54 cm).

Conversion of board dimensions from feet & inches to centimeters

If this is not the case with your favorite board, our board size converter will help you get a little more clarity. Simply enter the foot (ft) and inch (in) values for length, width and thickness and read the result in cm!

Note: For inches, the “decimal place” is given as a fraction, e.g. 3 1/10”. Therefore, please enter the numerator and the denominator in the corresponding columns.
