Hi,

The Monday 29th September at Tombstone, my UJ broke. While being busy rescuing the rig, my board drifted away and went past the breaks to be then blown away out of sights. The board was a Quatro Wave Single Fin 2010 (How is ridding a single fin nowadays anyways!)

I heard some boards get back to the shore north of the 3 miles camp site even after 3 weeks!

Before we left, we did the 15km hike from the camp site to Gnaraloo Bay. We saw sharks, turtles, Japanese bottles, even destroyed kite but no boards...

If you re more lucky that me, please let me know! You don't want to keep it, it's a single fin ;)

Thanks,
Kevin

^^^ Hey we have gone back to soft sails with fark-all battens, and boards with wingers, so single fins will be the must have for 2016 dude.

Someone found it! 130km north of where I lost it! And it's apparently undamaged...That's unreal!
Thanks so much to Mark at the Yardie Homestead Caravan Park... There is still some good guys out there!
The single fin will be back in action soon ;)

Anyone heading back from Exmouth to Perth at some point?
Or it could be another Gnaraloo trip ;)

Hi Steve and Terry,

No didn't organised delivery back to Perth yet.. Looked at quotes and not cheap...
The board is at the moment in Yardie Creek Caravan Park but a mate will pick it up probably Wednesday to bring it back to Exmouth
Yes would be great if someone had room for it on his way back....Whatever the easiest for you guys really. I live in Cottesloe.

Thanks you so much for the support... great windsurfing community!

Hi Kev
We are at Yardie Homestead atm, and the caretakers found it when out camping 13km north of Coral Bay last week.
We haven't been checking the forum, so only saw this today.
Yes, was picked up yesterday by JP, looks fine, just a few scratches. If we had know would have brought it back for you.
That board has a story to tell :)
See you out there soon.
Nat and Simon
