Six photos, one complete board

The required views show the whole board, the graphic and the details from nose to tail.

Board artwork.

1. Full-silhouette hero

Show the complete board and its outline in one photograph.

2. Graphic close-up

Show the graphic clearly enough to compare its visible condition with the listing notes.

3. Full top

Include the entire top of the board, rather than repeating the graphic-side hero.

4–6. Nose, middle and tail close-ups

Give each area its own close-up. Together with the first three views, these complete the six required photographs.

Let the notes and photographs work together

Describe the board’s condition and photograph the details that matter. Premium listings require the appraiser’s approval before publication. If you are buying and a detail is unclear, ask before making an offer.

Stay close to the culture.
