On Saturday 26/01, on the reef approx 2km from the beach, as a consequence of sail malfunction, trying to fix it, my board disconnected from the rig and was blown away towards north. It was a Starboard evil twin (2 fins) 70 litres, i guess MY 2009/2010, top red/wood, bottom white. It went with mast base and 30cm extension attached.
1) Many thanks to the kite surfer who pulled me back to the beach! At least the sail was saved...
2) If someone found the board, please note that no windsurfer was drown!
3) If you found it, would be happy if you let me know at 0421195614
Thanks

P.S.: I have spent several hours searching the beaches north of Green Head, also been in Leeman, but did not find it.

Let local emergency services know, so they don't waste their time if someone reports it.

Sorry to jump in and be a blabber mouth BUZ but i thought it was worth telling your story after talking to you ,all i remember was

This board disappeared at GREENHEAD

Guess where it ended up AND was found







How many days was it at sea






Worthy of a carton for shore














20 km North of Geraldton between SPOT X and CORONATION BEACH 1km off the coast.

Guess a lot of southerlies in the last 2 weeks so it never came in.
Good spot! Definitely a carton
Nice to know if you sat on your board for that long you'd get spotted one day

Hi folks, here is the story:
I lost my board at Green Head and found approx 2 kilometres north of Coronation beach, on Sat 26 Jan. I could not find it on the beaches to Leeman, so I put a message here on the seabreeze.
A week later, on Fri 1 Feb, I got a call from buz that he found the board north of Geraldton. That was amazing - I could not believe that at the first moment!
On top of that, Coronation beach is my most favourite WS spot in WA!
On the following weekend I went to Geraldton. Accidentally, buz needed to transport his new paddle board from Perth to Gero, so it was a useful trip double time.
I came to his place and - it was really my board, what a luck!
And it had no real damage, just may be few new scratches. The mast extension was also still there...
As far as buz knows, my board was sitting on the beach at least since Thursday 31 Jan (may be already sooner). So it travelled several days, did ~170km air distance and safely landed on the sand beach.
So it is a real happy end, after having my board lost, i got it back together with a new friend :-D
Thanks again, buz!
