But a month after his mishap off Scarborough, North Yorks, a couple found it washed up on a shore on the Shetland Islands.
Stephanie Riise, 22, and Jake Anderson, 23, went on Facebook in a bid to trace the owner â and a day later Lee got in touch.
They got a friend with a van to deliver the board to happy Lee.
Bank worker Stephanie said: âWe were chuffed to help Lee out.â

Stephanie, from Shetland, added: âOur interest was piqued at that point and we were just wondering where it had come from, how far it had travelled, who lost it, what story was behind it.
âWe went straight in to inspect the board to find any clues. We were surprised by its condition, it seemed pretty good.
âKnowing where it had come from thatâs even more impressive. It was completely intact.â
