time to get a gps on that sucker.
Alton, buy from craiglist, there are lots of small surfboard under 6'4''' for sale for no money because most people buy them to impress women and hang them in their rooms but truly they don't surf, and when the scam is over they end up in craiglist ... great for us because I can get any surfboard for no $. + you can ride them like there is no tomorrow and buy another when it snaps.
a 4 lbs professional surfboard for $100!, riding it is like riding on air. Great surfboards out there, move on to used gear, and let them pile up when you lose them, not worth the time.
even when I travel.
I never travel with my board ($100+ each way, baggage fees, why pay?) ... I buy from craiglist in the city I am traveling to. Go to SF for 10 days, I get a nice surfboard of my choice, pick it up, surf the hell out of it and sell it to the same guy for 30% its value. I save money, I don't have to carry gear, the craiglist guy is happy. Even cheaper than renting a surfboard in a shop.

At high tide kited from 72nd to 96th St but still no luck. Cash searched from 72nd to 64th St boosting air to get a better vantage point but still no luck.

A very kind duck hunter at 72nd St found my surfboard then called my number written on it. I'm ecstatic my surfboard and I are finally re-united after 4 days of searching. Funny how I searched 72nd by foot on Sunday and kitesurfing on Tuesday but didn't find it.

Great news, I was starting to feel very guilty!
It is hard to spot stuff out there though.- Michael

No worries. I appreciate all your help as well as Maryam who landed my kite, Mike for offering his surfboard and Cash for lending me his so I didn't miss 4 epic days.
Many thanks to everyone who suggested where to search.
