Used Board Condition Guide

1. A trashed surfboard, looks like poo. Not ridable or usable in any way. Not worth dumpster diving for, leave it in there.
2. This board too, is trashed. Fins broken out, broke in half or bucked/delaminated. Not usable for surfing but could be used as decoration (best side out) the board may still has some value here. Fence posts in the back yard?
3. The board could be ridden but has serious issues. It may still be buckled or could have hidden major delamination. There are likely open dings. Be very careful when buying a used board with this low of a rating.
4. A usable surfboard but not in good shape. Some dings repaired but not very well. Or it may be an old surfboard that has not much life left.
5. This surfboard is ridable and functional, but is quite worn. It's best years are behind it. Repaired dings may not be repaired very well.
6. Although this board is worn or old, there is still some life left in this surfboard. Repaired dings are satisfactorily repaired buy some surfers standards.
7. A used surfboard but overall in fair to good condition. Still plenty of life left in this used surfboard. Any open dings are quite minor, or already repaired.
8. A repaired ding or three but professionally done so the board is in overall in very good condition.
9. A new surfboard or like new. In great condition. A few possible minor surface scratches, minor off coloring, or imperfections, so this surfboard cannot be called a 10.
10. Brand new. In perfect shape.
