reSURF — how we grade gear condition

Every product in reSURF is inspected and graded before it goes on sale. The grade tells you what the gear looks like and where it came from — before you even read the product description.

If it's not ready to get on the water, it doesn't make it into reSURF. Every product in this section is fully functional and safe to use.

Condition grades

We use four grades: A, B, C and D. They differ in the level of wear and visual condition — but every one of them means gear that's ready to ride.

A — Excellent

Like new or almost new

minimal or no signs of use
no repairs
clean visual condition
no impact on performance

Who it's for: you want gear in like-new condition at a better price

B — Very Good

Lightly used, well maintained

minor cosmetic marks — small scratches, light scuffs
no structural issues
fully functional

Who it's for: you want a solid balance between condition and price

C — Good

Visibly used, fully functional

visible signs of use
possible professional repairs
no impact on performance
fully functional

Who it's for: performance and price matter more than looks

D — Fair

Heavily used, still functional

clear signs of heavy use
visible wear or repairs
fully functional and safe
all significant defects described in the listing

Who it's for: you want to get on the water at the lowest possible price

Which grade should you choose?

Not sure which grade to look for? This overview will help you decide.

Grade	Visual condition	Choose if
A	Like new or almost new	You want gear with no visual compromises
B	Minor marks, overall very good	You want a lower price but not visibly worn gear
C	Visibly used, surface marks	Performance is what counts — you're after a budget option
D	Heavily used, clear wear	Lowest budget, you want to be on the water — not in a showroom

What else is on the product page?

The grade is just the starting point. Every reSURF product page also includes:

Gear source — where it came from: test pool, school fleet buy-back, return, display item, and more
Detailed condition report — specific notes on each part of the product
Product history — time in use, water type, any repairs carried out
Additional notes — practical information you won't find in a standard condition description
