When a surfboard gets uploaded or registered by a shaper we present the board to the surfers in the community. The most recent board posted will be put on top when no filters are applied.
When a surfer zooms in on the map we are filtering out the boards which are available in that area. This means that shapers can ship boards to certain areas and still be visible.
We incourage shapers to update the location of their surfboards so they are visible on the map and in our standard search.
