Simple advice, really. Lost my board off Pinnaroo point at 5.15pm and got a phone call from some good people at 8 pm who had found it at Mullaloo. Don't put it off-do it NOW.
i'll take the chance to re-iterate this advice, lost mine off pinna's a while back too, had been meaning to 'getting around' to puttin my no. on my board, lost it and was lucky enough to get it back from an awesome old guy who contacted waksa who in turn posted it on here. thanks again.
How many forum members have lost boards at Pinnaroo? Count me in, I lost two in eleven days. Got one back courtesy of an honest kid and Seabreeze.
Very sound advice!
also put an apology on your board explaining that you are not worthy to be called a kitesurfer.
What about permanent details...
The neat thing about buying a cardboarding kiteboard, besides they are amoung the best performing boards around, is
1. You can get any design you want in near photographic quality
2. Your name and contact details are embedded under the surface.
Oh, and for heavens sake, particularly if you are learning, get a bright colored board. Yellow, Orange, Red. (I lost my first board, it was green)
And the other tip I received after loosing my first board. When you are body dragging up wind, count to 30 in each direction. Eventually you WILL find your board...

BTW: I organised the kiteboard design contests a while ago for Dan, so have an association with Cardboarding. Having said that, I ride their boards by choice now. Was riding Nobile 555's.
