How do you rescue a board? Just like finding a stray pet...take it home, wash it, dry it, look for some type of identification upon it to contact owner. Maybe place some "lost" notices online. In the interum, love it and treat it was like your own...maybe take it out for a session or two and feed it some epoxy from time-to-time if it looks weak, meek, and or has a hole or two.

Excellent tips on this video. Definitely had not thought about putting a no-handle-board above the chicken loop before...

Good demo vid... one thing I would not recommend is how they dropped off the board at the end. Riding up underneath the kiter to drop off the board puts both kiters at risk of their kites tangling. Instead, drop the board downwind and to the side of the kiter where they can easily just body drag over to it.
