It ended up some 5,200 miles away on a tiny island in the Philippines.Giovanne, a teacher in the Philippines, contacted Falter’s shaper, Lyle Carlson, about 3 weeks ago.“You could barely tell it was my board, but you could tell it was mine,” Doug Falter said. “It was kind of a real bummer when I lost it because that board meant so much to me. But now it means even more knowing that it might go in the hands of a guy that wants to learn how to surf.”Falter says the board was extra special, because he rode it the same day as the Eddie in 2016.He hopes to meet the man who found it and teach him how to surf, once some of the travel restrictions are lifted.Falter has set up a to ship some surfing supplies to Giovanne and his students.Copyright 2020 Hawaii News Now.
