Talking of losing things in the surf...
A few weeks ago I took my 8yo grandy to City Beach. He had his bodyboard, so we had to be outside the main swimming area, about 80m from the groyne. It was a bit dumpy, and after a while he got clobbered, surfacing with his shorts missing and just in his jocks. Couldn't find his swim shorts, so that was a cheese-off. He put on the dry pair in his change bag and went in again.
A little while later he decided, for the first time ever, that he wanted to body surf, so we moved into the swimming area near the groyne. He was in there a few minutes, got dumped by another wave - but, lo and behold, surfaces with the missing shorts that had got tangled in his feet.
