Sadly (for me) someone has taken it upon themselves to steal 3 boards and 1 kite from my "secure" parking garage. If anyone in NSW is being offered any of the below or spots them on ebay / elsewhere please drop me a PM or text me on 0450261361. I feel like I've been punched in the guts this morning...

Liquid Force Concept 138cm with Synergy Bindings - brand new (2009)
Slingshot RPM 14m used once (2009)
Cabrinha Custom 133cm (2009)
Slingshot Lunacy 129cm with Cab Sync Footstraps

I guess odds are I will never see them again. Silver lining I suppose is that I will have to buy myself a new board.... or learn to kite barefoot.

Cut their arms off if you catch them.
Don't miss a session, come and borrow a board from me. Matts got a 2010 Slingy Darkside with 2010 Floyds he is frothing over.

What colour is the kite? I'm up the nsw coast at a really good kiting spot so if they come here I can question them. Is your name in a particular spot?

Cheers for the support fellas. Must admit I was pretty amazed that someone decided to help themselves to my gear. 3 boards (1 with synergy boots), board bag and 14m RPM kite. I am trying to work out why they left 2 Fuels, 1 Bandit and my Underground surfboard. Perhaps 3 boards and a kite is all they could carry.

May his balls shrink to the size of raisens!

Unfortunately I assumed my garage was secure and I guess had too much faith in those that have access. An expensive lesson to learn!

Having used the 14M RPM only once I can't honestly remember the colour scheme. Unfortunately I've not marked my name on any of the gear.

The LF Concept & Synergy setup looks like this




Cab Custom 09 (133cm)



Lunacy 08 (with Sync Straps/Bindings)

May the fleas of a thousand cammels infest his balls and his arms be too short to scratch.

Having only seen 3 people riding boots in Sydney it should be pretty obvious if they take it to any of the popular spots.
