LOST BOARD / Gordons beach

Post by Teabag »

The board is the "vision" from litewave. 136 x 44 or 133 x 41 (im pretty sure it is 136 x 44)

If found I'll give $50 to BWD website and a minimum of $50 to the person who finds it.

Thanks for any info, Ian

Board was lost at Gordon beach on Friday the 5th @ ~15h30~.

Oh man, you have no idea about how much I am so happy right now!!!
I want to write a long msg describing my happiness, but I'll wait tonight after coming back wasted from the nightclub.

Nah... :)

You didn’t want your $50 so I’ll give it to the website instead. Some beers will be waiting where you left the board. (It’s just like the tooth fairy)
Thank you very much again, you just made my evening/night, and improved my weekend!!!

I’ll never kite in the ocean without a leash again!!!

Thanks Ned, same day, so lucky!!!

Thanks JL, I just watched the video and this thing look better and safer than a leash that is for sure.

Do you know if it works when there is big swell like island view during the winter or Gordons beach today?

If it does I'll go with that instead of the reel leash.

Glad you found it. I was wondering what Kus was doing swimming in from so far out!
Don't forget to bring a towel!

The Go-Joe works as long as it's windy on the water . I use a leash if there is no one around & sketchy wind . I like being able to spot my board . 8)

Riding without a friend today: Had a great time jumping in the tide rip until I dropped my board & the Go-Joe couldn't beat the current ... Body dragged in, borrowed a board (Thanks Martin) & retrieved it ... Go-joes make a great marker for a middle aged near sighted kiter !!! :oops:
