Sorry you lost your board Lucas. Unfortunately, lots of people lose their boards in these distance races. Most body drag and recover them, often several times. On occasion it stays lost. A sideshore wind and adverse currents, if any, in inlet areas can make recovery difficult at times. A reel leash with a weak link, helmet and impact vest could provide another option. I forgot to setup my reel leash for the Naples race but saved some aggravation by hooking it up for the Jupiter run. See you out there next year!
