Goofs
The murder victim was supposedly shot in the temple. Yet right before she falls to the sand there is no sign of blood or a wound on either side of her forehead.

Crazy credits
The episode's title has "WHO KILLED THE SURFBOARD?" in the usual font, inclined serif capital letters, with "BOARD" lined out and "Broad" written underneath in a script front.

Gary Conway Scores in Five Minutes

I remember this episode where Detetive Tim Tilson played by Gary Conway poses as a beach bum to help Burke solve the crime. He meets Sharon Farrell who plays a beach tramp named Libby Hale. She see's the muscular Tim in his swim trunks walking in from the ocean with his surf board. She approaches him and hits on him. Tim is balling her five minutes after they meet. Pretty racy for 1964.
