Title: Disc lost in Hawaii FOUND in the Ocean!
Post by: Clonan on March 13, 2013, 07:19:17 AM
I was at staying at Bellows AFB (Oahu) at the end of January. They have a 9 hole course (which is actually a 5 hole since 4 holes are fenced off) so I brought a Buzz and a Cyclone so I could play it. On the first day there, my bro and I were tossing my ESP/FLX Buzz around on the beach when a toss went into the water. It sank Immediately of course. I went running in to grab it but the search mission was cancelled by a life guard on account of the beach being closed due to high bacteria levels. So one of my favorite discs was lost on the first day in Hawaii. I had my name and number on it and asked the lifeguards to keep an eye out for it. After a week of no discs washing ashore, I officially tagged it as lost.

A month and a half later, I get a call from Hawaii. A diver who went treasure diving, spotted my disc under a reef somewhere. The current had taken it out to a place the locals call "Garbage Reef". Dude is mailing it back to me!! Still can't believe it.

That's pretty cool! Thanks for sharing. That's got to be one of the best lost and found disc story's! I'd send Discraft a message or post this on Discrafts Facebook page the manufactures often enjoy hearing these kind of things.

Nice!  I'm still waiting to see if anybody finds my champ Zephyr from Coronado North Island navy base.  I tried to do a throw witha flying leap catch into a wave and it was gone!
