{{cquote|I first found Wikipedia when I was a professional snowboarder 1998 and Iooked at the snowboarding page only to see that the board type catagories were missing the original and most classic powder board "the swallow tail" - (This shape emulates the fish tail boards from 1960s short board surfing" - So I contributed. I felt giddy - it wa sthe fist thing I had published on the world wide web - before blogging, twitter and CMS systems.
