How does salinity affect the results?

Higher salinity increases water density, which provides more buoyancy and can extend the expected float time.

Can I account for damaged equipment?

Yes, the `calculate_float_duration` tool includes an option to indicate if the foam core has absorbed water, which will adjust the buoyancy calculations.

How do different straps affect the calculation?

You can use `evaluate_strap_impact` to see how different attachment methods like a leash or footstrap impact buoyancy and retrieval ease.

More Details Connect to Claude

This MCP server provides specialized physics-based calculations to determine how long a board will remain buoyant after a rider falls. By analyzing board volume, rider weight, and water salinity, it provides critical safety data including expected float time, visibility scores, and retrieval urgency. Use calculate_float_duration to get a full assessment, assess_visibility to check surface visibility, get_urgency_level to determine risk, or evaluate_strap_impact to see how hardware like leashes affects buoyancy.
