let me know if you need a jump start ... I wouldn't mind checking it out myself ... now that I'm a crash test dummy ...

ST, Sunday morning is on the cards. Permission already received from GOD

SMS later on in the week.

Anybody else interested in having a go Sunday? Longy to DY/Curl Curl?
PM me and we can organise something.

You just might end up with a pic for yourself for free

Size is looking good for shooting from the water as well, although the damn water temperature
stuffs me up pretty quickly.

If on it's travels can someone get some video footage. I was talking to a producer at nine who saw the article in the Manly Daily and there was a look of interest there. If they decide to chase the story, cause you have to admit it it is a good tale, it would be good to get some footage.

What board bag, he’s having a lend of you, Mark.

Found a primo FCS bag at the ’Roy more suited to the new RV quad nicely though.

Would post a pick, butt

dead batteries and the lawn is still awaiting SurfinTurf’s 16 seconds of fame.

Thanks SDC, will wear the ‘SDC - NOT Made in China’ with pride!

Yeah, there was a shifty looking guy hanging around the Surf Club with dark sunnies on, when I "made the drop", maybe he grabbed it.

Great idea. We should get some 'not made in china' t-shirts made up, in china of course.

Irony

Yes, but possession is 9/10ths of the law... I will need to see proof of purchase before releasing.

Come on olds, no one irons t-shirts, do they?

Funnily enough it was the first thing I looked for, that being where/wear the t-shirt was made... Australia, well least the label has a flag on it, doesn't actually say where it was made which is a bit unusual. SDC may know...

Actually the graphic on the T says, “BLOODY WELL NOT Made in China”

actually Butts and I endured the cold for about and hour I would have thought ...

surfed the Fat Bat this morning thanks MP .... and added my comments to the diary, which was quite an interesting read too ...

not much surf to speak of this morning but the odd 2 footer strolled by so I got a bit of a chance to put it through it's paces ...

great decal SDC ... my 14 year old daughter is a Batman fan and would love something like that on her board ... I took a photo to show her ... you might get a call ...
