Finding the landspeed a object needs correlating with its area and weight in volume that a object needs to stay above water looking for the equation and plug in methods

Please post an intelligible question.
I want to know how fast a vehicle needs to travel in order for it to stay above water.. I seen dirt bikes do it
 
It depends on many details of the vehicle - not just its size and the parts that hit the water, but also how it moves (e.g. wheels, legs, something else).
For humans, this study is interesting. It doesn't work on Earth, but it should work on Moon.
 
There are a huge number of variable involved here. The most important one is the shape of the hull. Even given that, there are problems with the "roughness" of the hull. This is an extremely difficult, complicated problem.
 
They see me driving - They hatin'.

Well, the bike had fins added to create more lift.
The first wave riding scene looks quite dangerous for all the others in the water.
