The Maldives bit of debris, looked nothing like a surfboard, and was obviously from a plane. But a few things have gone down that could have ended up there, and it was plain not possible without a lot of experience to say which aircraft it might have come from. It was only a small piece, the armchair sleuths cannot get good enough images of the tail fins and wings to try and match it up with MH370, QZ8501, CG-791 or another plane, it did not seem to come from the drone that washed up in the Maldives.





With the lettering it should have been easy enough for someone who knew their aircraft to work it out. The media were deliberately giving a misleading story to discredit the find. Just as earlier they had been hyping the debris that was obviously not a fire bottle from a B777. They see something that might be debris, suddenly they try and pass it off as a surfboard.

One made of very strong honeycomb composite material with the exact same layers as MH370(or probably any other plane) would have had on some parts, possible metal sheaving under the skin on the outside edge (bit sticking out) which was rounded and wider than the tapered back edge which had broken off. A surfboard is slimmer on all the edges and thicker in the middle, and no surfboard is made like that bit of debris was. That would be obvious, the media had their own agenda, story would have sold whether they had gone with it being MH370 or not. Anything that is obviously not, they make out it is. They tried to discredit the flaperon hard enough, got away with discrediting the bit that washed up on the Maldives. There were smaller fragments, that washed up, of no use. Personally I though it might have come from something smaller than a B777, but would like to have had proof.

Here are some images of actual surfboards.
