Do you have any marks on the board that would signify your old ownership. I got the guy on the hook as a buyer. He just told me the kites are 15 foot and 16 foot. He does not know what the hell he has. The crazy fly is a 136 he says.


the guy is located in Long Beach. Call LBPD if you have any marks. I asked him how much for the board. I have many friends down that way and we could buy it back for a cheap price if you cant get it back legally!!!

He is not willing to break anything up to sell it. get on this guy before your shit is gone permanently.

How very accomodating of this gentleman to relieve someone of this potentially dangerous gear.

Instead of passing it on to do more potential damage, perhaps the kites can be soaked in some type of solvent to remove the dye.

This would render the kites useless, and thus safe, and this gentleman is left with ample amounts of ink to finish his full body Yakuza tats! Win,Win!

kind of a side point and I hope you get your gear back undertow....that sucks
but…
What’s the typical way thief’s these days rob gear. Is it typically home invasion, breaking into your car, taking it right off the beach..etc ? I guess it’s the type of thing you don’t thing much about until it happens and it’s too late.

Six boards were stolen out of a locked garage, I'm sure I was scoped out. Possibly a friend of a relative
