Sorry to post this but if anyone see's a white jimmy lewis 9'1 number 0024 black dots attached in front of original deck grip please let me know!!! As I loved it dearly they left the paddle behind so I do not thing the thieves know what they had.
Thanks fellow sup man!!
Ps northern suburbs whitfords shops Perth was where I last saw it.
It was in its bag which was clearly labeled with my name and number so I would have had a phone call by now if found.
I think they new it was a top quality high performance board and wanted one but had their own paddle
A Jimmy Lewis board stolen? Does Svein Rasmussen have an alibi?
(apologies for making light of the situation - board theft - not cool)
Mate reading your story really sucks,never give up hope it may return to you.I hope it does!
I see you wanted to add to your quiver, dam that sucks,maybe have a chat with
the store you purchased your JL from and tell them your story.They would want to
help you get back in the water sooner rather than later.
All the best mate,oh did you catch any fish
Hi jonoj,
Total bummer about your board. We'll keep an eye out here in the shop in case some putz tries to come and hock it off. Did you check with your home insurer? Some home insurers will cover theft outside the home, it would be worth the check.
Another piece of insurance is the Kanu Locks to lock your board onto your roof racks. We recommend them to most of our customers and they are well liked as a product. Using Kanu's allow some of our paddlers (and us) who paddle with us at 5.30am, the ability to load the board the night before and leave it on the car roof overnight, knowing it will be there in the morning for a speedy getaway.
I 'ken hate thieves! [}:)]

Hi Windjunky,
Kanu locks are not a guarantee to prevent theft, but they can and do stop the opportunists. Lets face it, how many crims walk darkened streets carrying bolt cutters hoping to find a SUP Kanu Locked to a roof rack?
If a decent crim wants any of your possessions, they are gone and there is nothing you can do to stop them. I mean organised crims can knock over banks and armoured cars, what hope have you got. But thieving little scumbags that decide your board would be better in their possession than yours whilst in a carpark in daylight wont stand a chance.

Check your home and contents insurance. I'm with NRMA and they cover your boards on the roof of the car against theft, regardless of whether they are locked or not.
I still use a lock if I am away from the car for more than a couple of minutes.
I have these for all of my boards:http://www.ebay.com/itm/LONGBOARD-SURFBOARD-LOCK-/260698601504?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cb2d8f820
You can secure them with a heavy duty padlock and chain if your worried about people with bolt croppers (unless they have the Rolls Royce of bolt croppers!).
