Mark, good to see all the action happening. The aquabat looks good in its new livery.
I'm enjoying following its progress on Realsurf.
Maybe somewhere down the track when its been around the world a couple of times we could get it to a comp where there are some WTC surfers and get a few autographs then auction it off for charity.
I realise you probably would like to eventually have it on show in your shop (and have every right to do so), but just thought I'd throw this IDEA into the mix as one MORE thing to consider.

Seriously impressive stuff Butts, you have outdone yourself and still MORE shots to come...great work....Hey Trev, glad you are still following it after being at the launch...

the AquaBat is heading on a Pacific sojourn early in September and needs to be handed over to lessormore on the 5th, but will be back after a week or 2 to be passed around Sydney surfers for a while longer before continuing on its journey...should be awesome to see the pics of it overseas and hear the stories ....

Yeah I hear ya Fong, the world's gone made with commercialism.

Red and Green would have been a good colour combo, although I tend to like the cardinal red and myrtle green colours myself :D :D Go the Rabbits, and how good was that win last week over the "Pigeons", it was even more satisfying being out at the game.

Awesome stuff, :D ovulating to see pics and read the travel diary, interested to find out who are the locals having a crack on the A-Bat :?: . There is some non RealSurfers wanting to get their hands on the board :shock: , will need a mobile number or e-mail to be able to put them in touch , so if anyone is gunna be in posession of her for a while, please shoot thru your details to me so its easier to arrange handovers :)
Seems to be going very well and hope the project is gettin people together, wondering if all you crew riding her on Sunday already know each other ( not just on the forums I mean ) ??? if its gettin everyone together and sharing this awesome thing that is surfing, well how good is this ??? :D and if the waves are good for it, thats gunna be really cool... ENJOY :lol: please get a group shot with her so we can see RV smile ( as he always tells me to do ) :lol:

Fat chance, Batman. :D

Given the potential numbers I’m going to take my latest Olympic quad special down (888) and they can have a crash test drive if they desire. Don’t worry though, MP, it won’t be stealing any of the project’s thunder.

Hope iButt’s forecast is right for once :twisted: as the weather is wild and wooly at the moment.

Clif, I'm in line somewhere on this journey, so we can arrange to get it from each other, one way or another.

Sounds like it might be on the northern beaches until it gets an overseas trip (lucky bastard) so it mght not be till second half of september. Will let you know if I hear anything.

Looks wild and woolly out there now. My wife and I just chuckled when I told her I was thinking of getting up early to go and surf at Dee Why. :wink: :shock:

Such dreams.
