I don't know about the name; it just seems like a generic descriptor for the vehicle (especially since it's in all lowercase), and not actually meant as its official name. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 00:43, 6 December 2017 (EST)

:As I said back during the proposal, from what I've seen the PRIMA guide doesn't list and name all the objects which are specific of a course, but rather refers to them in the description of the course. In the case of this vehicle, we have two sentences that mention it: ''Some cars have surfboards you can Jump Boost from'' and ''Occasionally, you’ll encounter smaller vehicles with surfboards you can Jump Boost off of.''. Neither of them are a proper name, of course, and the only name I found internally is ''CarSurf''. Unless the Japanese Nintendo Official Guidebook gives these vehicles a proper name, we'll have to rely on one of these, I fear.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 21:23, 6 December 2017 (EST)
:I feel like we should have a general rule against using obvious descriptions in lowercase as article names. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 10:42, 6 December 2017 (EST)
