Yeah it happens

Just tell him to use a board "leash"

At least he will always know where it is

Ouuuuch Damn Doh - Oh, thats just my unlost board

Hey I

Don't mean to sound unsympathetic but HTF do you forget your board

You only have three items to carry from the beach. A kite, a harness and a board, Usually the board is the biggest item.

Just curious. A good lesson to all the kiddies out there. WRITE YOUR NAME ON YOUR BOARD with a permanent marker either on the deck under the handle! Name, phone number and "REWARD".

It will almost always come back to you.

Good winds,

Bad Luck. I always do a boot check before leaving a spot. Kite, Board, Pump, Harness check and go.

Could it still be there? Description?

I think Ian and his mate spent too much time in the sand dunes together and hence forgot why they had come down to the beach in the first place.
