Did the board get sucked under the big box due to the current? Sounds like you need to put on the drysuit and goggles and do some recon under the box.

it was a shiny Cabrina wakeskate - bummed I lost it just before Tybo showed up with his - worked much better than the skim on the fun box and went up wind like a champ...

Gman, there is a panel on the back side of the BigBox that you can open and climb inside (It's right at the "a" in AIRUSH). Take a T20 and a Phillips screw driver with you, should be just 4 screws. Don't climb up underneath it if you don't know what the bottom loops like...

did you get it back?

I saw someone walking back from the box with a Cab WS on saturday. Hope it was you.

I didn't see the beginning of it, but just saw him walking back from the box, board in hand, wearing a wetsuit and not flying a kite. So one can only assume it was a board retrieval operation.
