A surfboard lost off the coast of Australia approximately 18 months ago has been discovered in New Zealand, thousands of kilometers away. The board was found by New Zealand-based French surfer Alvaro Bon on the west coast of North Island. The surfboard, now covered in barnacles and mussels, was initially lost during a boat trip near Tasmania. It washed up in Raglan, one of New Zealand’s most renowned surf beaches.
