Gi lost my wake surf board Saturday around 1:00 pm somewhere between Chimney Rock and the Ridge Marina.  It slid off the back of the boat and we didn't realize it.  Any help is appreciated.

it is Phase 5 brand board and is mostly black and blue.

thanks!

Dittos, harry. I don't want to sound like too much of a curmudgeon,  but wake urfers are an extreme nuisance. Their wakes are much more damaging than water skiers, and tear apart floating docks and seawalls. We have some clowns over in real island area who do it for hours and turn the whole area into violent chop and swells. Ban wake surfing on martin!!!

I really hate when I hear about wakesurfing near homes and docks.  We wakesurf but it is always in areas where there are no homes.  I realize that may not be possible in all areas of the lake but if we didn't have several areas that were devoid of houses we would not do it. The waves are simply too large to be done around docks.

It would be great if others shared the same consideration regarding wakeboarding as you do. My lake house is on a long, but fairly narrow slough with houses on both sides, and it seems that many who use it to wake board like the turbulence they create. One can have their floating water toys(rubber inflatables,"lilly" pads, floating docks, personal water craft, and the like), in the water in front of their homes and many show little concern about the "damage" the wakes can cause. I have literally had my grandkids playing on a lilly pad and the wake tore the rope loose and damaged the corner of the "pad". I have heard others who say they have had their boat tied to anchors on the side of their dock and the wake actually ripped the anchor loose.
