A big wave surfer is set to be reunited with the board he lost in a wipeout off the southern coast of Tasmania, Australia, four years ago after it was found 1,700 miles away in North Queensland.

off the southern coast of Tasmania, Australia, four years ago after it was found 1,700 miles away in North Queensland.

Despite searching for the specially-made, bright green board with the help of friends, Griffiths was forced to give up on it and"never thought we would see it again," he said. "As soon as I seen it I knew it was my board," he said."Even with the barnacles on it, I could tell it was mine."The board had been found two years ago by two brothers fishing off Magnetic Island, North Queensland, who took it home, cleaned it up and put it on display in their house, he said.

After word spread, Griffiths got in touch with the pair, who have agreed to send it back to its original owner.
