Perhaps we could have another revolution in surfing by adding a fourth fin? And then a fifth! Agentsoo 19:24, 12 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Article contradicts itself[edit]

The article starts out saying that the skeg was "invented" by Tom Blake in 1935, then immediatly proceeds to explain that there were earlier uses. Sure, the earlier uses on ships go back over 2,000 years. How, then, could one assert that Blake invented the skeg? This article needs a re-write, preferably NPOV by a non-surfer. —Quicksilver^{T @} 18:52, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to me that the article is simply written backwards. The historical references to a skeg should precede the modern surfboard reference. Tom Blake obviously did not "invent" the skeg, but applied an existing technology to a modern device. --Greggbc 17:38, 29 December 2006 (UTC)greggbc@cox.net[reply]

I have gone over it. Make adjustments and when it's o.k., take the tag off. (RJP 11:11, 19 January 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Pronunciation of 'Skegness'[edit]

The article says that " 'Skegness' is pronounced with an un-Danish hard 'g' " ... While generally true that terminal 'g' in Danish is pronounced very softly, it is not the case with 'skæg', so I'm removing this statement. Daen (talk) 19:40, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
