How do I calculate the float factor?

You can use the `calculate_buoyancy_status` tool by providing the board volume, weight, core material, and foam density.

Can I compare different board materials?

Yes, the `compare_configurations` tool allows you to compare two different material setups to see which provides a better float factor.

How is visibility determined?

Visibility is calculated using `estimate_visibility_index`, which considers the float factor, wave height, and water turbidity.

This MCP server provides critical physics calculations for surfboard recovery planning. It allows AI agents to determine how well a board will float and how visible it will be in various sea states. Use calculate_buoyancy_status to find the float factor and submerged volume, estimate_visibility_index to assess visibility in waves, and predict_recovery_window to estimate how long a board stays afloat before sinking. You can also use compare_configurations to evaluate different material setups like wood cores and foam densities.
