What's New

We removed two things from the board scoring that weren't doing their job. First, boot-size compatibility: most brands don't publish a per-size boot range, and the ones that do publish it so loosely that every rider looked like a perfect fit — so the factor wasn't actually telling boards apart. Waist width already catches toe and heel drag, which is the real thing you care about. Second, the binding mount filter (2x4 / 4x4 / Channel): every mount system has adapters, so any binding can be made to fit any board. Filtering on mount type was hiding boards you could actually ride. If you had a mount filter saved in your preferences, it will quietly stop applying — you don't need to do anything.

Added a brands-only scrape type that re-reads manufacturer spec pages without re-scraping the retailer catalogs. When we fix a brand parser, we can now refresh existing boards with the corrected specs in a few minutes instead of an hour — which means you'll see fixes land in recommendations sooner.

Fixed two long-standing brand-matching bugs: Salomon boards with product IDs in their URLs (like 'li3' on the Dancehaul) were failing to match manufacturer spec pages, and version-differentiated boards like 'Bryan Iguchi Pro' vs 'Bryan Iguchi Pro 2.0' could end up wearing each other's specs. Both are fixed now, so the spec numbers you see on these boards should finally be the right ones.
