local legend

Laurie 'Lozza' Langridge of Whangarei is a 64 year old frothing grom with a passion for collecting locally made surfboards, he collects not only surfboards but old bottles, antique tools and 'really cool stuff'.

Laurie's quiver includes a Bob Davies 'Allan Byrne' single fin, an Atlas Woods log, a rare 'Head NZ' longboard, an Apex 'pop out' longboard which were sold in Wiseman's stores throughout NZ in the 60's, plus a great selection of Whangarei made shortboards from Tribal, NSB and Supersession.

Laurie will be at The Cove Fish Fry doing interviews for his website www.adventuresinparadisenz.com so come along and have a chat with him and share a story or three, Mike C.

The Cove Fish Fry is a gathering of positive and like-minded surfers and shapers sharing a day at the beach. The original format of the Fish Fry was based around the Fish surfboard but as the event has evolved and spread throughout the world it has become open to all forms of surfcraft, Fish, Logs, Hulls, Alaias, Handplanes, Mats, the list goes on. The Cove Fish Fry is a non-competitive and non-commercial event and will be held at Waipu Cove, Northland, NZ, save the date, March 2024 (date TBC) for the 9th Annual Cove Fish Fry, cheers Mike C.
