Hi Peeps,

Today, like every day, there were two more boards lost at Pinnaroo. Everyday people come to us in the trailer and ask if a board has been handed in, to which I ask; "Was your name and phone number with the word "Reward" written on the board?" To which the answer is "errrrr ...... no!", 90% of the time.

Please, if you haven't got your name on the board, stop in at the AKS truck/shop and borrow our permanent markers. We have a white one and a black one so you have no excuses.

Please write your name on your board, include your phone number and write "REWARD" on it too. 99% of the time you'll get it back within a day or two and all it will cost is a case of beer (<5% of the cost of replacing a new board).

If you can't body drag upwind, drop in and see us and we'll teach you for FREE so that you don't need to use a board leash.

FFS some of you must be loaded, I'd just about top myself if I lost my board, and I know a few people who have lost more than one . Go figure!

Good winds,

Do I detect a hint of frustration there Mr Marshall?

Awful generous of you to offer pens and free lessons!! Now no one will have any excuse except kindheartedness in donating those lost boards to you....

...and me when I come along and try to claim some [}:)]

why do kiters still use board leashers???????
today this guy was doing a downwinder and said i would have lost the 144 hammer09 if he dident have one (the footstrap screw came out)
he said it was a good leash short and springy

Sorry mate,

No Stella, in fact no beers since Christmas with the exception of a couple of nice bottles of wine and a case of Red Backs from our fave customers as a Chrissie pressie. Ta guys, you know who you are!

For Pete's sake, keep it down will ya! How's a bloke supposed to become a dunkard if I have to keep sharing it all the time?

Actually, the Crownies lasted a day once my blokes found it in the fridge.

Good winds,

I've also got my WA drivers licence number written on the bottom of my board, while everyone may not be honest enough to hand it back in even though it does say reward if found, fingers crossed it will find its way back to me eventually.
