Either my board is a shrinky dinky and someone popped it in the oven, or someone has swapped boards by mistake. I own a 148 Cabrinha Prodigy, but noticed today that I am now in possession of a 138.

Therefore someone out there, presumably a 138 Prodigy owner, now has a 148 with my name and number on it, written on the white bit on the end.

If thats you, can you give me a call? I'm a beginner and every cm helps at the moment!

Ta in advance...

Atleast you've got your name and phone number on your board, that gives you alot better chance at getting it back!

I'm going to go and put my name and number on my board now, before I forget!

Good luck getting it back

Yep, someone alot more experienced than me suggested it could be a good idea. They weren't wrong!

It comes in really handy when your board shoots through up the coast without you too, they quite often get found washed up on the beach and most people have the decency to try and find the owner.

Yep Greenpat, that was actually the reason I did it in the first place. Wasn't expecting it to be using it from an accidental swap!

What is a reasonable length of time to wait before I sell a board that isn't actually mine? (ie in order to fund a replacement). And are there ethical issues with doing so?

Update - just got a call from Phil of WA Surf. With all his gear it took a little while to get noticed, but yep, he's got my board!

Good onya Phil, appreciate the call mate - can't wait to get those 10cms back!!

Gotta love a happy ending
