Hi all.

Today for once is good news day. I have finally had my Stolen equipment returned. See original post below.

"Hi all,

I am new to kite surfing and been addicted for a couple of months. This morning I went to my ute as usual and found that my Kite & Board had been stolen. I live in Point Cook Vic. The Kite is Red / Black & White. This is a 2012 model yet has 2011 Lines attached to the bag so a different safety system etc. The board is the 2012 Haze. I really can't describe the thoughts i have for the low life scum who has stolen my much loved kit! The board has kite republic stickers on it with a kite republic lost and found sticker that i hadn't got around to filling out, there are no marks on the board at all and it is as new. The pump which was attached to the green bag is a White Naish pump also with a Large Kite republic sticker on it. If any one at all comes across such items for sale please let me know as i cannot afford to replace them and would love 5 min with whoever took them!"


Thanks to a few individuals going above and beyond my equipment was recovered by the local police. Without going into too much detail they charged a guy and all my kit was returned to me.

I would like to thank those involved and am not going to mention any more details than that. you know who you are.

This is a great result and goes to prove if we stick together as a community we can achieve the results we want.

Again thanks to those involved!

Elemental had a kite stolen from the beach a few weeks back, i saw the same one up for sale on gumtree. Made some enquiries to the seller and got their address and details, passed it on to Elemental..

long story short, Elemental got police involved and kite was returned.

Good result for them.

I just love the fact that the crims steal kite gear and then try to sell it back to the relatively small comunity of kiters.

Do they think that we al give each other the finger down at the beach and ignore each other?

Well atleast the guy who stole your stuff was stealing quality Naish gear!

Glad to see more people getting into the Naish side of kitesurfing... even if it is illegally gained!
