Lost surf board returned after incredible 400-mile journey to Shetland

A surfer has been reunited with his surfboard in “perfect condition” a month after it was lost at sea and drifted more than 400 miles away to Shetland.

Stephanie Riise, 22, and Jake Anderson, 23, of Shetland spotted the nine-foot board while out walking on Dec 28. The board has since been returned to its owner in Yorkshire after putting out a call on Facebook.

Lee Brogan said he had been "wiped out" by a massive wave while surfing off the Yorkshire coast in November and watched in agony as it disappeared into the ocean.

He had given up on ever being reunited with his ten-year-old board until a couple stumbled upon it – some 400 miles away on the Shetland Islands.

Stephanie Riise, 22, and Jake Anderson, 23, spotted the board while on a walk on December 28.

They took to Facebook and when Mr Brogan responded they arranged to have the board returned to Yorkshire.
