What started off as a website for surfers to buy and sell surfboards has gradually transitioned into a specialized Surfboard Marketplace.  Boardhunt.com has taken another step by allowing their users to seek community advice through an interactive feature called Ask-a-Pro. 

With an easy to use interface, Ask-A-Pro allows registered users to post any question they wish to the open community.  “Typically, the used surfboard buyer is less experienced and need guidance to avoid costly mistakes,” says Boardhunt.  “With Ask-a-Pro, they can learn and make better decisions by leveraging the knowledge of the more experienced riders.” 

Users have already begun asking questions like, “I’m athletic, 5’9”, 180lbs and a beginner. What kind of board should I be riding?”, “Where exactly on my tail should I place my tailpad?”, and “How will switching from one board type to another affect my riding?”   Although these questions may seem trivial, they lead to uncertainty and buying delays, something Boardhunt doesn’t want for their users, or the market.  Instead, they want to remedy the situation with a convenient resource aimed to boost buyer’s confidence. 

In addition to board design, Ask-a-Pro welcomes any board related questions on travel, etiquette, maneuvers, etc.  To maintain integrity, only registered users can ask questions, answer, or rate them with a “thumbs up” or “thumbs down” after they log in.  Notifications are sent via email once someone responds to the question.  You don’t necessarily have to be a “Pro” to answer, but you should bring some solid boarding experience to the table.  So whether you’re a beginner, an everyday rider, or a backyard shaper - Boardhunt’s Ask-a-Pro awaits your contribution.
