sorry for your loss mate, have you reported it to the coppers?
with all the effin cameras around blightys town centers these days you would think even the rozzers would be able to find someone legging it through swansea town center with a 10ft longboard!

make sure you let all the local shops know, Roger Cooper and Wave Graffiti are both pretty distinctive boards. They would recognise them if someone tried to sell them there.

it figures that they are local , how far would you travel to get a free board and more ot the point how would you know it was there?
i doubt non surfers would attach material worth to the boards so its not like a bike or a lawnmower (might still be worth going round the pikey joints like cash convertors / express etc though).

I figure this is gonna be someone who has seen your garage open or whatever and fancys having some fun (over the school holidays hint hint).

they arent gonna go to the main spots cos they will wonder if you are there, or if others will know your board...i would surgest trawling round some out of the way , not so good surfing spots and see who you find.

(and on a personal note take a lump hammer...thats just me .... for errrr, the tent pegs..of course...not kneecaps... tent pegs...yup...tent pegs)

hey tropicalcraftman,
just a word of advice, check frequently on EBAY to see if your boards pop up there, was just browsing to see if my board ive got up for sale is doing ok, and saw 1 wave grafiti board that is similar to your description and a few roger cooper boards on there too, so maybe check it out see if any of them are your missing sticks.
you can also buy a lump hammer on ebay too and follow phils advice! :twisted:
