About 45 minutes later another cruiser in the bay noticed some teenage boys using 2 paddleboards that matched the description, and then watched them hide the boards behind a local business. The owners returned and found the hidden boards and “recovered” them. The owner of the business asked if all was okay and they indicated they were their boards and got a thumbs up.
