Lost Kite Board off Littlehampton

Saturday, July 11th, 2009

Just had an Email from a young local kitesurfer.. he has not long been kitesurfing off Littlehampton, normally with his North Rhino or his Best Yarga and his Bang board.. He has lost his board today Saturday 11 July.. his kite ripped.. and he could not body drag out to the board..

This lad knows most of the local kitesurfers and he is going to be completely lost without his board, his Mum tells me “its a great board and it suits him just fine… with chance it will turn up.. I hold out a small amount of hope”
