### 3/5 — The app could use a little more info.

*2022-08-30, version 2.2.0*

To the creators: could you add a section in glassing on the types of resin, the laminate process, the hot coat, top coat, Q cell mixing, resin mixture ratio and different types,

### 4/5 — Could go more in depth but overall pretty good

*2014-03-26, version 2.1*

App could incorporate board volumes and kinetic fins. Maybe more details as to how the board shapes/ tails perform in different waves i.e.:  barrels, mushy, open face point breaks or beach breaks.

### 5/5 — Sick!

*2013-07-27, version 2.0*

Very informative! I love it!

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2012-03-31, version 1.4*

I've been currently reading a book like this app, but the book goes more in depth; however this app is quicker to look for refernces.

### 5/5 — Ideal for any surfer

*2012-02-14, version 1.2*

Finally! An app that is well thought out and well written. I highly recommend this app for any surfer trying to know his board(s). If possible it would be great to add a little bit more details on riding each board (ex: On a double concave it's a board that needs to be driven on its rails, to do sharp maneuvers. Kind of like snowboarding.) This could be also a personal way of surfing… I'll let you decide. 
Brilliant app anyways. I still haven't taken it off my iDevices. Cheers.
