In Hawaii, a man lost his surfboard. It reappeared in the Philippines | CNN Travel

“It turned out it’s a surfboard from Hawaii. I couldn’t believe it myself,” Branzuela, 38, told AFP. “It’s been my dream to learn to surf and ride the big waves here.”

“For now I can use his surfboard. I told him I will take good care of it,” he added.

Falter wrote on Facebook that he would have gone to visit Branzuela if it weren’t for coronavirus travel restrictions, but he is now raising money to send the aspiring surfer some gear and some reading material to help his students learn English.

But is it still Falter’s board? Presumably the international law of the sea applies, the law of salvage, I suppose. I bet it is now Branzuela’s board. Leave your answer in the comments.
