“Stab invited the best shapers in the world to each create a surfboard. It would be for a mystery world tour surfer who weighs 80kg and stands six feet tall. The board was to be supplied as a cleanskin. No markings. No stickers. No pencil on the stringer. Nothing identifiable.”
Basically, they had some shapers make Julian Wilson an hp shortboard with no markings at all. He rode them all and rated them. Stab notes in their article that this isn’t an end all solution to naming “the best” surfboard. So with that out of the way… Watch, enjoy? If anyhting he rips in the video. Obviously most people aren’t Julian Wilson in terms of skill. And yeah the boards are very similar. But again, nobody is claiming this is relevant to everybody or anything like that. It’s entertaining if nothing else.
