Lost Kiteboard at Columbia Beach

I lost my Shinn Wave kiteboard today at Columbia Beach around 9AM. Black with white deck pads and 3 orange fins. Two of the fins say “Gooch” on them. I notified Coast Guard at French Creek. Reward if returned. Thanks.

Sometimes you can find dual waterproof VHF sets. That way you can leave one on the beach with someone. It is blowing 25-30KN at CB right now!

VHF Radio

I always ride with a handheld VHF (with a lanyard) in winter and remote spots. Even if you don't have one with a GPS feature you can still be found. Coast Guard has direction finding equipment that can home in on your location when you are talking on it. The most important thing is to call for help ...

Any luck finding your gear? I looked from CB to Eaglecrest but it was high tide with no luck.
