Yeah, maybe these October school hols. May even buy a little spring suit for the tacker. Needs a bit more confidence in the water, but there's only one way to get that.

At last,its time to don the black cape,slide down the batpole and rendezvous
with the batmobile and we're of into the Pacific with a 10 to 15 sec period swell forecast for the next week. yeehaa. Just gota get it back in one piece!

20 years or 20 days old, that board looks like a great, reliable, step-up!!

Can't wait to see the pics. You've got a great quiver to cover many (or should that be 'MORE'?!?) bases. Nice

Bought it off Dave Gyngell (now head of channel nine) in the late eighties.
Dont know who shaped it.

Be a Buzz, Tony Cerff or Gunther Rohn. You've kept it in great nick, hope you get some juice on it and the Bat.

just wear all your clothes on the plane..... definitely got all surf conditions covered there, 3 very different boards....ENJOY

It's actually got "The Buzz" written on the bottom.I thought that might have been who it was custom made for.I bought it for a backup board for a G-land trip but never rode anything but my 7'2 as it didnt get below 6' in 3 weeks I was there.Since then i've only ridden it when its bigger (few times a year).

Where are you headed? Somewhere in the Pacific?
Cant wait to see the shots of the bat in the tropics
