Sure. Actually a pretty good story. 3 or so days into my Kauai trip, my buddy decided to put our boards on his rack vs. in the back of his pick up to make a little more room for his dog. He's always a copilot, a big guy, and had been a little cramped the days prior. So that evening he tied the boards down for a planned dawn patrol. He may have been a little buzzed and in hindsight I should have helped him considering he typically throws his boards in the back and his strap was kinda shotty, but he just did it. So early that am pre dawn en route to north shore from east side, all of the sudden we hear a PA-PING! and I know right away what had happened
So we pull over and sure enough 3 out of 4 boards were gondo. So I run back up the road noticing headlights thinking oh shite I'm gonna get an earful or worse a crack....... when I get there a Hawaiian brada had blocked the lane horizontally with his car. 1st thing I say as I get there is "I'M SO SORRY!" He then pointed over to the guard rail where he had kindly moved our 3 boards out of the road. I said "THANK YOU so much" and he reached out and shook my hand with a big smile. True Aloha! Board were in bags and coulda been worse if they got run over. Luckily my Ghost had a very minor crack in the glass on the tail which was easily sealed with a hot coat. The tail on the RDR was another story and took some time to repair once I was back.
