Most readers have no idea where "Wilcove, Torpoint" is!

That is why it needs more of an identification than that.

Like: Which continent is it in? Or at least which country.50.205.142.50 (talk) 22:38, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted it entirely, there was no support for it and the contributor claimed it was their grandfather and has no other linked contributions. Zbeso (talk) 15:00, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ben Aipa's Stinger

Adopted later by World Champion Mark Richards, and although otherwise it was a "flash in the pan" as far as trends go, for a few years in the mid to late 70s Stingers dominated surfboard design and were all the rage, either with or without Ben's 'trademark' step-bottom employed crosswise from stinger to stinger. I am surprised that this information has been omitted, as anyone who was actively surfing in the late 70s would've been no doubt been duly influenced.

Foilboard

A recent <cough> invention appears to be the foilboard, which quite rightly has it's own article.

Even more recently, battery powered foilboards (efoil) have appeared. In 2021 a father and son crossed the English Channel, covering 23 miles on a single battery charge.

Okay, it's not a surfboard, but neither is a snowboard or a skateboard. The foilboard is still a developing market, and no doubt pure surfboarders will scoff at the very idea of such innovation, but as the foilboard article dates all the way back to 2004, isn't it long overdue that at least a link was introduced into this article?
