The Crashing Surf

Each surfboard represents 3 pieces of information. As hinted by the text about being "suited up" each of the surfboard contains the background color (as named in the collection) and an armor type of a MegaForce Sentinel (https://opensea.io/collection/megaforce-sentinels). Identifying those pieces of information along with the symbol on top is broken down below.

Number	Image	Armor	Color
1	Ape	Ice	Dark Green
2	Atom	Azul	Aqua
3	Black Eye	Death Bot	Holo Red
4	Cheremkhovo	Radioactive	Golden Sun
5	Ghost	Noise	Blue
6	Gift	Gold	Green
7	July 4	Holo B	Purple
8	Kangaroo	Electric	Moss
9	Mummy	Jelly	Holo Green
10	Panda	Runes	Orange
11	Pangram	Crystal	Yellow
12	Twins	Swamp	Holo Blue
13	Zipper	Trippy	Red
14	Zither	Zombie	Teal

As also hinted by the text of having things in common. Each item and armor answer are the same length, which when compared have one letter in common in the same position between both.

ie. Ape and Ice both have the letter E for the third letter

However, determing how to order the surfboards is still needed. This can be done by looking at the supply of each Background in the Megaforce collection and sorting them by most common to most rare

Number	Image	Armor	Common	Color	QTY
14	Zombie	Zither	Z	Teal	1260
2	Azul	Atom	A	Aqua	1234
13	Trippy	Zipper	P	Red	1232
6	Gold	Gift	G	Green	1222
10	Runes	Panda	N	Orange	1212
11	Crystal	Pangram	A	Yellow	1198
8	Electric	Kangaroo	R	Moss	1187
7	Holo B	July 4	L	Purple	1184
9	Jelly	Mummy	Y	Holo Green	53
12	Swamp	Twins	W	Holo Blue	52
3	Death Bot	Black Eye	A	Holo Red	52
4	Radioactive	Cheremkhovo	V	Golden Sun	51
1	Ice	Ape	E	Dark Green	36
5	Noise	Ghost	S	Blue	27

Reading the common letters in Background rarity order gives the final answer of ZAP GNARLY WAVES.

This is the sixth method used in an attempt to hatch the vessel.
