XL Surfboard & Foil Caliper - 36" Max Width

The XL Caliper is the specialized solution for shapers working on high-volume crafts, including Stand-Up Paddleboards (SUP), foil boards, and extra-wide traditional logs. Designed by Florian Saylor, this oversized thickness gauge provides the extended reach and clearance necessary to measure boards that standard calipers simply cannot accommodate.

Capable of measuring boards up to 36" wide and 8" thick, these calipers are precision-crafted from durable 3/4" Baltic Birch. The hand grips are finish-sanded with smooth, rounded edges to ensure comfort while navigating larger blanks. For maximum accuracy and longevity, the tool features a high-quality engraved acrylic scale—not a sticker—allowing for quick, clear measurement readings that will never peel or fade in a dusty shaping bay.

Key Features:

• Extreme Capacity: Engineered to measure widths up to 36" and thicknesses up to 8"—ideal for foils, SUPs, and oversized blanks.
• Engraved Acrylic Scale: Integrated measurement scale provides instant, accurate readings that remain legible for the life of the tool.
• Baltic Birch Construction: 3/4" premium wood ensures the rigidity required for repeatable, professional measurements on large surfaces.
• Ergonomic Comfort: Smoothly rounded hand grips allow for a steady, fatigue-free feel during long measuring sessions.
• Designer Quality: Features a subtle, laser-engraved logo and heavy-duty hardware for a lifetime of use.

Pro Tip: When measuring high-volume foil boards, use the XL Caliper to ensure your thickness is perfectly symmetrical from the stringer to the chine. The 8" thickness clearance makes it easy to clear deep concaves and aggressive deck foils.
