Some advice from years of landing Hobies.
The odds of losing the Mirage Drive go up exponentially when you remove it from the drive well before attempting to land through the surf.
I use the Mirage Drive to return through the surf and bungee the drive peddles apart when I see shallow water.
There is a technique that several of us have used for years, and it works.
Morgan or Jared might have some video of the process I will have to ask them.
----------------------------------
I hope someone find your drive and you get it back.
