New Competition  -  Where is Allison's Board?

After nearly 9 hours on the water windsurfing across Bass Strait, Allison was suffering from hypothermia and severe leg cramps and had to end the Bass Strait Challenge. Given the harsh conditions of the moment, it was only safe to retrieve one thing from the water without putting other lives at risk, therefore Allison was pulled onboard the support vessel "Calypso" and the Formula One Design board drifted away.

The board is a Starboard 162 Formula One Design board. It has an extra footstrap at the back and a VMG blades fin 66cm. The board is 160 litres, 228cm long, 100.5cm wide, 77cm tail width and 12.2kg
(probably different weight now with holes, barnacles, shark bites and waterlogging!)

Whoever returns Allison's windsurfer will win a prize.
