oh no I know what that's like, did the same recently. mine did turn up after 3 weeks. The guy who found it said I should have put an add in the Margs Mail (local paper) in the 'lost and found section' as he was looking there for the owner.....good luck.

im sure Simondo will be along any minute now to give us the ABC's.......He will make us all sit down and be quiet (just like in pre-school) and then put on his best annoying Miss Jane voice....

best of luck mate...hope it wasnt damaged either

thanks guys. good idea about the paper, dee jay.. have tried just about every other avenue already: drove round looking, went to every carpark btwn grunters and rivermth.. left message with lifeguards, at prev store noticebd, all town noticebds, asked all surf shops, texted evryone i know who surfs, facebooked, seabreezed.. now the papers.
p.s. someone flashed their lights at me on my way into town going past wooditch.. i thought it was because there were cops, but i think it could have been the paddleboard coming off. drove into town then realised.. i think it was a dark coloured 4wd or similar, with spotties and maybe some other special lights on the roof? went past pretty fast

Hey Tim did you get rid of the TAC?
Ericson was out there this morning.
Hope you get it back. Will keep my eye out for it.

Yeah I left before Tim, Hi Tim I was the fat guy that kept falling off! I'm sure it won't make you feel any better but you were Grunters' second victim that morning. Before you came out another bloke lost his paddle after a wipeout. I don't think he found it.

Hope you get your board back.

Plenty of victims down here. Got my ass handed to me this morning by a low tide, head high Suicides wave. Took off too deep, went over the falls, copped 3 more waves on the head while bouncing of the rocks. Then paddled back out for some more

Gold! Well, my ABC's saved myself a paddle yesterday actually. Car was in reverse, "hang-on, do a quick check". I knew the board was strapped, but sure enough the paddle was on the grass still.

We all forget the basics sometimes. Even the Aussie Test Batsmen have had a camp, with the thought of getting back to basics.

Glad your board almost won the battle, with minimal scars.

Husq, pull your head in half an inch! ^

Sounds like a plan Tim.
Got a few at the point. Super sucky off the rocks. Just had to ride it high through the zone. Stoked
