Surfers with wooden bellyboards, Pentire Cove 1966 In 2023 wooden surfboards are becoming popular again because they do not pollute the sea with plastic fragments. This photograph harks back to the period from 1940s to the present when we have used wooden bellyboards at this beach and nearby Porthcothan. Park Head is visible on the right.
