WELL,, It was to be another eipc day out on the water at Shearwater, the wind was a crazy south west, when my board slipped away from me for good and vanished..

REWARD for lost Crazy Fly Raptor full carbon with custom 20mm fins, one of kind all black and the best board on the planet.

If found please call Rory on 0422933298.


Beware of the Triangle.. anyone with information on where all the boards go to that are lost at shear water would be worth thousands.

Talking to the guys in the seaway tower told me they have seen upto 10 boards one day float past with the outgoing tide. And from there they go to a place called eBay. Or become wakeboards

Sounds like a sweet board. Mystic straps with d3o pads and it would be perfect or maybe some Ronix ones.

I was out there today from 1pm until about 2. I recon Shearwater was the pick of SEQ today.

Unfortunately I didn't see your board. But now you've made me want to get a carbon kiteboard too.

Yer ronix ones definitly, white ones.
Bad luck on the board, was your contact info on it? If anyone in a boat picks it up there is a good chance you will get a call

is it worth having some sort of leash on your board - like with surfing?
I can imagine their is some risk involved of the board coming back to find you at a good rate of knots with a leash...

if you put a leash on- wear a helmet to stop yourself getting knocked out
