Surfboard Rail Bite Calculator

Surfboard Rail Bite Calculator MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Calculate hydrodynamic rail hold, max lean angle, and drift thresholds for surfboard performance.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides hydrodynamic modeling tools to analyze how a surfboard's rail engages with a wave face. By inputting board speed, rail shape, and rider weight distribution, you can use get_rail_hold_force to determine lateral grip. You can also use calculate_max_lean to find the steepest angle possible before losing engagement, or simulate_rail_engagement for a complete performance overview including drift thresholds.

4 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

calculate_max_lean

Determines the steepest angle the rider can lean the board toward the wave face before losing rail engagement

check_drift_threshold

Evaluates if the current riding conditions will cause the board to slide sideways

get_rail_hold_force

Calculates the lateral force generated by the rail engaging with the water

simulate_rail_engagement

Provides a comprehensive overview of rail performance for a specific setup

What is the rail hold force for a board going 5 m/s with a hard rail on a 45 degree wave face and 0.5 weight distribution?

The calculated rail hold force is 450.5 N with a high stability rating.

Calculate the maximum lean angle for a setup with 500 N of hold force, 200 N of fin force, and a speed of 4 m/s.

The maximum lean angle for this configuration is 32.5 degrees.

Will my board drift if I apply 600 N of lateral force with a total hold force of 550 N?

Yes, the board is drifting. The margin of safety is -50.0.

You can use the `get_rail_hold_force` tool by providing the board speed, rail shape, wave face angle, and weight distribution.
