Hey All, Any help/info on the below would be super appreciated - offering a CASH reward if found!! I am MISSING two surfboards and a Dakine travel bag. I want to assume they weren't stolen and say it's possible they fell out of the bed of my pickup as the tailgate may have fallen down while driving on Ocean Avenue in Deal, NJ. Both boards were in the travel bag and they are: 1. 5'6" FireWire Spitfire - 5 fin setup It has the bamboo deck with navy step-down rails on the diamond tail. The left side of the tail near the trac was recently repaired and is totally clear and/or covered by a sticker (assuming it hasn't been removed). The board is a bit older so the bottom is a little yellowed. It has a black/gray/white Gorilla traction pad and an army green Dakine comp leash and was quad set with 4 Stretch fins. 2. 5'9" JS Blak Box - thruster It is a clean new board and has a blue tractor logo with a blue "J" and black "S" on the rail. It has an all black Dakine traction pad and a black Dakine comp leash. It was set as a thruster with 3 Black Stix 2.0's. This board was ridden once and looks brand new. Please respond with any info/help. Thank you!!
you did"nt see it fly out of your truck , I know the area very well and Ocean Av. is a fairly busy road , no one honked ...I suspect someone helped themselves to your boards .
The truck has a bed cover on it so I thought the tailgate may have fallen and they slid out. Pretty busy roads today with the solid swell around here but never got a honk or anything like that. I'm pretty inclined to think they were grabbed out of the bed when I was parked in Long Branch.
Appreciate you keeping an eye out! Starting to think they were grabbed as opposed to falling out of the truck bed. Thanks for the help!
This guy had his board stolen and it turned up at Play it Again Sports. So check your local play it again sports, pawn shops , Craigslist. This other guy had it stolen from his truck and he reported it to the cops and gave them a photo of it, or maybe it was a verbal description, ... Anyway, 6 months later there was a big bust of these thieves with their storage unit filled with stolen stuff. Bingo. His board was in it and it matched their description. He got it back.
hey dude i got your JS it was laying in the street i didnt see any fire wire around though message me
Thank you for the info! I've been checking online websites (Craigslist, eBay, etc.) and called some local surf shops. Will certainly file a report too. Thanks!
That's cool I hope he found at least one of your boards!! So when you got to where ever you were going- was your tail gate down, like it opened while driving? Hope you find them! I will keep my eyes open - but I usually only surf in the Belmar area...
Hope so! Waiting (anxiously) on his reply. Yeah I was driving from Deal to North Sea Bright; got there and realized the tailgate was down and the bag/boards were gone. Only problem is I've never had any issues with the gate and didn't feel it open at any point while driving. Appreciate you keeping an eye out, any help is great!!
OK, now that it appears that you're getting some of your gear back, you need to get busy posting a Hello thread. Be sure to include pics of your wife, gf, sister, mom, etc. Unless you intend to just abandonne all your helpful buddies here at SI once this episode has passed.
