How does rocker depth affect my board's performance?

Higher rocker depth increases maneuverability but typically decreases paddle efficiency and wave catch ability due to reduced effective volume.

Can I use this for freshwater calculations?

Yes, you can specify a lower water density (e.g., 1000 kg/m³) in `calculate_static_buoyancy` to simulate freshwater conditions.

What is included in the buoyancy profile?

The `analyze_buoyancy_profile` tool provides static buoyancy, paddling ease, wave catch ability, and a natural language summary of the board's use case.

This MCP server provides specialized calculation tools for kiteboarders to analyze how surfboard geometry and volume impact performance. Use calculate_static_buoyancy to determine if a board can support a rider's weight, estimate_paddle_efficiency to assess manual paddling ease, and evaluate_wave_catch to predict wave entry capability. For a complete overview, analyze_buoyancy_profile aggregates these metrics into a single performance summary.
