How do I calculate the minimum speed for my board?

Use the `get_minimum_planing_speed` tool by providing the rider's weight, board dimensions, fin configuration, rocker level, and concave depth.

Can I compare different fin setups?

Yes, the `compare_configurations` tool allows you to compare multiple fin setups and rocker levels against a baseline to see the impact on speed and drag.

What is the optimal speed range?

The optimal speed range is the velocity window where the lift-to-drag ratio is maximized. You can find this using `get_optimal_operating_window`.

This MCP server provides hydrodynamic analysis for surfboard design and performance. Use get_minimum_planing_speed to find the threshold speed required for a rider to lift the board out of the water. You can also use get_drag_profile to analyze resistance across speed increments, get_optimal_operating_window to find the most efficient velocity range, or compare_configurations to evaluate how different fin setups and rocker levels impact performance.
