Canadian kite-surfer Sebastien Allain accidentally lost his gear during a winter surfing trip, but the hours-long search to recover his possessions yielded an unexpected find: a message in a bottle, which happened to also contain a diamond ring.

Allain tracked down the sender and learned this was not the first message he had sent, nor the first that was returned to him.
