Choose the spec unit for listings

What it changes

Surfbase writes each listed product's title, description, spec details and size options. The spec unit decides how dimensions read there. In inch/f a shortboard reads 6'2" long and 19 1/2" wide. In mm the same board reads in millimetres.

The choices are:

• inch/f: feet and inches with fractions, the way most shapers write.
• inch: decimal inches.
• cm or mm: metric.

It starts as the unit of the person who connected the store, or inch/f.
