kind of one of those if you know you know situations.
If the board is new and the conditions I bought it for are on offer, i know what i want to know in the first handful of sessions. The results can be:
- boar is exactly as i hoped/expected
- interesting sensations worth feeling out
- wtf was that
- I am pretty sure i fell for the marketing
If the board is new and the conditions i bought it for aren't on offer but I surf it anyway, after the first handful of sessions the results can be:
- holy cow, magic boar
- interesting sensations worth feeling out
- wow, never surfing this in these conditions again
- uh oh, is this boar even gonna work?
In the latter scenario, once subseqent conditions are as expected, I'll continue to re-evaluate the board (until i've sold it) and typically have the following result:
- holy cow, really is a magic boar. KEEPER
- interesting sensations, disappointed, depending on overlap MIGHT SELL
- wow, boar works better in marginal conditions than as intended, PROBABLY SELL
- uh oh, is this boar is not gonna work. SELL
