The GF number is the percentage of volume (floatation) to body weight. If a surfer knows his weight, he can scroll up and down the scale to find his recommended volume (keeping in mind skill and fitness). If a surfer knows the volume of his favorite board, or a board that feels too floaty or not floaty enough, he can use the chart to guide him in a better direction. As anything, this is simply another tool to make things easier when choosing a surfboard. Its not a means to an end, and nothing is set in stone. Ultimately, the surfer needs to use what feels best for himself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mayhem and Lost Surfboard riders\u2019 GF%<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kolohe Andino: 165lbs \/ 26.6cl \u2013 .35gf<br \/>Taj Burrow: 152lbs \/ 24.25cl \u2013 .35gf<br \/>Brett Simpson: 175lbs \/ 28.00cl \u2013 .35gf<br \/>Mason Ho: 150lbs \/ 25.00cl \u2013 .37gf<\/p>\n<p>Additional example of GF%<br \/>Matt Biolos: 205lbs \/ 39cl GF- .42<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 85%;\">*If you\u2019re surfing in warm water and good waves, the lower end of the scale is recommended.
