Cabrinha Chopstick 144 with GoPro Sticker, Camrig GoPro board mount and GoJoe inflatable board recovery tool went missing at 3:30pm yesterday afternoon from Dolls Point.

My name and number are on the board so please call me should you have found it.

There is a reward for the return of this board.

maybe you can hit up your sponsors 'go pro' and 'Kitepower' for some lessons on how to not loose your board..

I have never ever heard of anyone who can use a gojoe and then loose their board unless the wind is offshore.

Your name seems appropriate for your comment!

I would appreciate a little respect and therefore ask that you refrain from commenting on anything until you have bothered to understand the circumstances which lead to the loss of the board in the first place!

Let me sum it up for you,

Dolls Point - southerly at 30knots gusting to 35knots - chicken loop fail - off shore at the point of fail - line tangled - friend comes round on his kite and offers assistance - takes board back to beach - he end up losing power on his kite - he self rescues and leaves the board - 30 knots of wind pushing the Gojoe on the board offshore - lost.

I was too far off shore and the wind was blowing offshore at the point where the chicken loop had failed so I ended up having to float around in my kite for a hour +

I was rescued by the water police and didn't know that the board was lost until I got back to my car.

Thank you for understanding now!

Guys please keep an eye out for anyone who might have a solid GoJoe on their board....

My GoJoe was filled with foam to keep it rigid and I'm sure that someone has found my board and is trying to sell it.

Thank you in advance
