There are so many shit brands out there in this day and age of digital globalism, where any kook from Nebraska can just slop his own ‘pro’ graphic onto Chinese plywood.. Probably an app out there somewhere that uses a facial recognition based algorithm to randomly spit out a board graphic for you with the option to in-app purchase and have the board amazon primed to your doorstep. There is a long list of board brands, old and new, that are simply not worth mentioning or acknowledging.
As far as actual, established, recognizable brands go I will say that I have never seen a Real board that I’ve even kind of liked. How they can still afford Ishod is mindblowing. Any board that has ever had the name t-puds, p-rod, shane, nyjah or chris haslam on it one can assume with 100% certainty the graphic is trash. Also any board with the Shake Junt grip tape is instantly trash regardless of the actual graphic.
