shem,

i think it is from what larry said i just need to track him down.

was hoping it was mine but he did say it had north writen on it.

ah, you had me excited for a minute then, you sure it didn't say mad eel on it chris?!!

I'm still learning kitesurfing so maybe a good reason for this - why don't you use those slow retracting leash thingies u can get - would save a fortune in boards?

how do you all loose them?

tim,

i'm gutted as well thought it was my slingshot.

my board was lost when i was out well powered up out back tryng to get up wind then a gust hit me and became detached from the board unable to body drag up wind. if i had a leash. it would have either snapped or the board ( pulled out footstraps, handles, harness attachment on old board) would have rebounded back and taken my head off!!!

those long reels are a pain you end up wrapped up in them.


loosing a board is a numbers game. the more time on the water the more chance it will happen.

never mind - my new mad eel is looking forward to its trip to tenerife - praps the old one caught a current and ended up there!!

Cool move Tim. That'll save you a fortune in airport costs! Must give it a try...


bucski - 20-4-2005 at 20:33

nice one paul

yeah I thought it was a cool move, you have to wait for a spring tide just as it's ebbing and then hook the board on the back of a passing porpoise - easy really!
