Basically you are making a hole in the water that would take 1,000 pounds of water to fill, if it was Jell-o you could see the hole when you took the ship out. If you add 100 pounds of weight to the ship, be it feathers, foam, or lead, it will sink deeper and displace 100 more pounds of water.

The floor is 4 times 288 times 384 cubic inches, or 442,368 cubic inches. 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters. Thus, 1 cubic inch = 2.54 times 2.54 times 2.54 cubic centimeters, or 16.387064 cubic centimeters. So 442,368 cubic inches is 7,249,112.727552 cubic centimeters. Each cubic centimeter is 0.000001 cubic meters (1,000,000 cubic centimeters = 1 cubic meter). So the floor is 7.249112727552 cubic meters. You can essentially call this 7.25 cubic meters. You can also determine from this that a cubic inch is 0.0000016387064 cubic meters, which can be used as a shortcut.

Fins control the surfboard, its depth helps it hold in turns, a longer fin base will give you more speed, and a longer rake angle gives tighter turns, additional fins increase these attributes, tight turns especially require fins that are positioned close to the outer edges of the surfboard as a good portion of the bottom will be out of the water, that is why most single fin boards are for cruising or medium wave riding.
