A man in the UK reconnected with his surfboard earlier this month when he flew more than 400 miles off Scotland’s Shetland Islands.
Stephanie Rice, 22, and Jack Anderson, 23, were walking on Shaland Tland Beach on Dec. 28 when they found a 9-foot surfboard that seemed to be in good condition.
“Our interest was imposed at that stage and we were just wondering where he came from, where he traveled from, who lost, that’s the story behind it,” Rice told SWNS. “We went straight to inspect the board to find a key. We were amazed at his condition; he felt very good.”

That day, Rice posted pictures of the board on Facebook to see if they could find the owner. A day later, Rice and Anderson got in touch with Lee Brogan, the surfer who has held the board for 10 years.

While Brogan was surfing at Runswick Bay in Scarborough, North York, last November, a wave wiped him and restrained him attached to his board.
A day after Rice and Anderson posted about the surfboard on Facebook, they came in contact with board owner Lee Brogan.

He told Rice that after he fell down, his board went in the “opposite direction” and he couldn’t catch it.
“He saw the board walking away with binoculars, just helpless,” Rice said.

When they connected on Facebook, Rice confirmed that he had arranged for the board to return before Brogan was the owner. A friend of his dropped a surfboard in his van earlier this month.
Lee Brog couldn’t believe that he had rejoined his board in November, after traveling to Shetland Islands, miles0000 miles from Runeswick Bay in Scarborough, North York.

“I was so stoked to finally get it back, I can hardly believe it will come back,” Brogan told Sheetland News.
He was surprised that the board was in good condition after such a long journey.
He told the newspaper, “It needs a little minor ding repair and a little paint, but other than that it’s completely intact.”

“We couldn’t believe how quickly we got in touch with Lee, and we were prepared to be able to help him and get out and bring his board back to him.”
