Hi, a surfboard is an object with no distinctive features. We suggest you place some marker points on it and scan it using marker mode.  
In order to capture the bottom of the object, you can either pad it up or hang it with a wire for easy scanning. Or you can scan two parts and get two models and merge them in Revo Scan 5.

These tips may help you.
