How on earth do u lose a surfboard? Did u fall off without a legrope and just swim in?
Wind changed to offshore and blew from 20 knots to about 40knots in a matter of a minute. I was close to shore so i had a choice: get in and stand up and be safe, or try to retrieve a board upwind of me overpowered in offshore wind.
May sound strange (offshore/upwind)The geography of the point at which i was kite surfing made this possible, not a regular beach break.
