Board pages: reviews of the boards with a video behind them

Updated 2026-09-20

Not every board I have owned gets its own page here. This hub lists the ones that do: boards with a video that shows and tells what they are actually like to ride.

What counts as a board page here

A board gets a page only when a video covers it directly, on camera, in enough detail to write something real. A board that never made it into a video, or only got a passing mention, stays out of this hub rather than getting a thin page built on guesswork.

What is on a board page

Each page opens with what the board is, based on what is shown and said about it on camera. It works through how it surfed: what stood out in the water, the fins that worked, and the conditions it was tested in, all from that footage. It covers who the board suits and who it does not, based on how it actually rode rather than a spec sheet. Every page closes with a short set of questions people actually ask.

Where the facts come from

Everything on a board page comes from its video, and nothing else. Nothing here comes from a manufacturer's description, and nothing comes from a private record of dimensions, prices or numbers that never made it on camera. If it was not shown or said in the video, it does not appear on the page. A page like the Surman Dark Void 7'2 or the Gato Heroi Acid Drop shows what that looks like.

Questions people ask

Why doesn't every board I own get a page?

Most boards only get a mention in a wider video, or none at all. Writing a full page without real footage behind it would mean guessing at how a board actually felt, so those boards do not get a page.

Are these pages reviews or a record?

Reviews. Each one reads like a review because it is one, built from a real video of that specific board.

Does a board need to be a favorite to get a page?

No. Video coverage decides it, not how much a board gets ridden. Some boards here moved on because something else quietly did the job better, and the page says so.
