I'm not sure who it was, but thanks to the guys at Kyeemagh that secured my board from being blown down the beach yesterday, preventing any further damage.

Saw it happen but too far away to stop it. The wind gusts were so strong yesterday, just picking boards and tossing them down the beach. Saw another board picked up by a gust up on the grass, fortunately it only land on the grass.
It all comes down to experience, which I'm sure Chris will have taken something from this, it's hard when your new to the sport and not sure about what is going to happen next.
Chris, I think Troy Pudsey might have rescued your board? I think he might have shed a tear too as he watched helplessly as it flew away!
Ha Ha
The Chris Ting I know is experienced. Are there two Chris tings?
The first carpark after the river has two pathways two the beach and when the wind is nukin it is not a good idea to carry board and rig in one go as the pathways are difficult with kids and elderly and non sailors about.
While we all know to keep the board and sail connected when on land (and water
) I prefer to carry the board and sail seperate at this location!!
If your board is light, disconnected from the sail and placed cross wind, then it's at risk of being picked up by a gust of wind and tumbling downwind. Unfortunately in this case the board tumbled onto and and impaled itself on an upturned fin.
Makes me rethink how I have my board on the beach, Connected from now on. would it be a good idea to dig a hole for the fin to sit in as well? (p.s new to the sport)
You can also use the wires of the fences on the beach side of kyeemagh to put your board against. That's usually a good way to make sure it won't move. And for once, these otherwise useless and dangerous fences will be of some help.
