the Podium

At the moment the Podium, with the new entry Josh Angulo knocking off Robby Naish from second place:

Total
1 – Federico Morisio: 1447
2 – Josh Angulo: 1370
3 – Jason Polakow: 1357
4 – Robby Naish: 1339

Total is very skewed on Instagram: impression and views are somehow double counting as they are related. But I wanted to value the click-through behaviour so I added them both. In this dimension Federico in English is the winner

Likes
1 – Robby Naish: 47
2 – Jason Polakow: 42
3 – Federico Morisio: 38
4 – Josh Angulo: 38

IG likes already show a different story. Robby and Jason here still win the hearts.

YouTube Views
1 – Jason Polakow: 109
2 – Robby Naish: 86
3 – Levi Siver 2: 34
4 – Kai Lenny: 34

The different story becomes more obvious on YouTube that relies mostly on organic traffic as I have not yet grown a large proprietary iSurf costomer base there – only 26 subscribers so far. Jason is the most visually appealing athlete and Robby number 2. Then Levi and fourth.

It takes a couple of days to stabilise IG results: the later posts will show up in the rankings slowly.YouTube can grow forever and we’ll have to give it at least a week since last post to stabilise.Interviews are posted on iSurf YouTube
https://www.youtube.com/user/VideoiSurf/ and IGTV channels

Of course it helps Federico’s placement that isurf has an .it extension. But Federico is also very active on social media, and that helps a lot too.

The Prize!

The race is open!
