SurfBoards... I do remember the image of Joanna Yeates with a surf Board... I just assumed that they were rented... but no... To my surprise they apparently lived in The hallway of Joanna Yeates Flat....
Don't remember ever seeing the Forensic Officers removing Surfboards from the Flat.... I discovered the information about The Surfboard from a tweet from Skynewslive...
It was a tweet skynewsgather made on the Judges summing up...

Greg found an apron in hall by the surf boards, and one of Joanna's earrings on their bed. A recipe for mince pies downloaded on work PC.
We know that the earring was in the bed... Yet the judge tells the jury that the earring was on the bed.... That makes a huge difference if the jury had forgotten where this piece of evidence was...
Being on the bed would go with what Dr Vincent Tabak's statement said about placing Joanna Yeates on her bed...
But we know from Greg's Testimony that he found the earring
in The bed... which has never been explained how it got there ...
I am trying to envisage where these Surfboards would have lived in the hallway... Its not that big the hallway to what is flat1... If the Surfboards lived there .. what about their bicycles and Greg's Skis??
How did Dr Vincent Tabak manage to negotiate the hallway without knocking everything over whilst carrying Joanna Yeates around to his flat??
Dr Vincent Tabak.. doesn't mention the difficulties of the Hallway... You would think that he would have mentioned the Surfboards... You wouldn't miss them.... They are enormous.....
Why would the apron be in the Hallway???
You could envisage the apron being in the Hallway if an attack had started there... But then there would be surfboards in the way... And a scene of a struggle...
Dr Vincent Tabak would have literally have had to knock on her door...or Press the intercom and the minute she let him in attacked her... for the apron to be in the hall.... It seems more likely she took it off and dropped it there herself on her way out to me...
Another thing that I have thought about... why did the conversation that Joanna Yeates have with Dr Vincent Tabak not include the fact that he was Dutch...??
Neither Greg nor Joanna Yeates had meet Dr Vincent Tabak and would not have been aware that he was Dutch... You would have thought the conversation in the kitchen would have Joanna Yeates asking him where he was from?? And maybe how long he had been in England... What brought him to England... And what he did for a living...
But apparently not.... The conversation talks cats apparently and flirty things....
No talk about things they may have in common.... Their work... when they moved into the building.... No talk about there interests... we just get "flirty and cats"....
I cannot see Joanna Yeates letting a complete stranger into her house.... If she was in need of company.. why didn't she stay at The Ram??
If she opened her door to someone... it had to be someone she knew ....(IMO)...

Judge #JoYeates resuming summing up now, reminding jury of statement from boyfriend Greg Reardon
So does this mean the information about The Surfboard was from Greg's written statement he gave to Police... Or what Greg Reardon actually stated in court when he was in the witness box??
Because I do not remember any of the papers reporting about the surfboards in the hallway, throughout the trial....!!
