Hi all
Sunday 12th November afternoon around 3pm I lost my board and whole rig in waves North West from top of Wellington Point. Board 2015 Fanatic Gecko 133L white/green/blue white Srverne NCX 7.5m with Severne boom and Severe Racing mast extension, mast was 100 carbon 460 Maui.
Judging wind direction and current they might end up in Manly or Wynnum
Please let me know....

Sh%T that is a bummer but at least you made it back. What happened I would assume you were not wave sailing with that gear? Hope you get them back.

Everything? Seriously? That's very rare.
7.5 in the waves,,,,,,,,,,, well there is that, couldn't have been too windy though.
Hopefully you weren't nekid when you swam back in.
Good luck.

Hey I meant to post here that gear was on roof of police RIB doing a lap inside King Island. Looked like good gear, I was playing on a little trimaran down that way.

Victor has been reunited with his gear. His board was found on King island and his rig was found floating in the bay and collected by water police
