Thanks to Raf, the bloke who parked next to me in the Middleton carpark who was so sorry about running over the tail of my board, offered to pay for it, even take it to The Ding King, despite it being out of danger and impossible to hit has now it appears has either blocked my number or turned his phone off. Maybe pick up or send me a text. SA hasn't got that many surf spots and there aren't that many of, we'll cross paths sooner or later.

That sucks!
There’s a few Raf’s on the Facebook groups Epic South Oz Surf, South Aussie Surfers and South Oz Surfboard Buy & Sell. Could hunt him down there.

Impossible to hit? But he hit it.

Seems to be more to the story, not saying you’re wrong but your story has a few holes.

Either way, fix your board and go surf.

You left your board on the ground where it could be run over, your fault. Deal with it.

Does this Raf guy have a strong accent because he's a foreigner ?

cgrover Wednesday, 3 May 2023 at 01:17 pm

Yep South American or Spanish???

Depending on your home and contents insurance you might be able to make a claim. I have coverage for any item outside of my house to the value of $1k for loss or damage. $100 excess, which isn’t worth it for small dings but this sounds like it could be more than $100 worth to repair. This cover usually doesn’t cover damage whilst in use. And as yours wasn’t in use it could potentially be claimable.

Thanks Tiff I'll look into that, it's about 200-250 repair, just caught the end by the tail and the tail pad might have save the foam a bit. And it was a small light vehicle. Still a bummer but there it is.

Absolutely your fault, don't leave it on the asphalt next time.

The good news is that Leyton Clarke aka The Ding King at Hackam is a master. Thanks

And on another positive note- I bet you won't do that again.

Maybe pick a car that has reverse cameras on it next time when deciding where to put your board.

Ha I'll keep it in mind
