the fat bat project survives horrid shark attack

Probably will do the auction thing but I quite like her myself, I might cry if she went away

If we find a worthy cause, I would gladly auction her off and donate the dollars to a charity..We ( realsurf guys ) should get together and help some people who need it , maybe some sick kids or the homeless, I am open to suggestions and like I said, glad to donate the boards selling price to a charity....

if we get some MORE footage, I will get someone to edit it and make a small dvd and could also donate those dollars....

MP there is no noticeable damage to the board except for a minor fracture on the rails, but it's not letting anything in. The tail llooks a little worse for wear but appears to have been reconstructed.

Cant wait to get out on her, should be good.

Went out in wind affected north curly on the AB this morning about 11, with two mates.

Board went well, however with the terrible surf I lost interest after about an hour. One of my mates and I ended up going to BWS buying a case and sitting in the shade waiting for our third mate who had taken control of the AB to come back.

I found it a little big for my frame (about 75 kg) however the volume made it easy to paddle.

Also I was reading through the diary today, and I think I may give a few of you handwriting lessons, and Lessormore I may even introduce you to the lower case.

Cheers MP, unfortunately I've got work early tomorrow and an exam in the arvo, but will be catching up with butts later on next week for a good photo sesh.

good to hear you are having some fun on the board and passing it around with your mates too...I am sure the travel diary has some interesting stuff in there and no doubt some will be hard to decipher but that is ok, I hope there is a few jokes and weird little stories and stuff, drawings and whatever, all good ...

I have messaged BettyBoop and she will contact TMC soon to arrange the handover, maybe you could both meet up with Butts so you both can have some pics done ??? still need someone to take it south real sooso if anyone can help ,please let me know...

maybe send him a PM ??? I havent been passing other peoples numbers or e-mails around, much rather the surfers make contact themselves and maybe even make some friends out of this, will be cool to have our first girl ride the AquaBat, hope we can get some pics too...

still very hopeful for some MORE footage from anybody if possible ???

jeeze guys it could be a bit cold, unlike you northern country this area can get cold from time to time.

And also it's never good to overdo a joke. Thats why my parents tried to smother me on my tenth birthday.
