beginings

Just a small thanks to Grant Newby, the founder of The Alley Fish Fry and the reason why I started TCFF in NZ, such an amazing guy and a great event, Grant has taken a few years off The Alley Fish Fry but I reckon we can get him to start it up again, no pressure mate!, cheers again, Mike C.

2016 raffle TCFF

This year's The Cove Fish Fry raffle is a beautifully handcrafted Handplane by Jamie Gallant and Christian Druery from Adventure for Good, tickets are $5 and will be available on the day at this year's FRY at Waipu Cove on the 13th of March, all profits from the raffle will go to Adventure for Good, a registered charitable trust also a growing electric bike network and maritime carpentry school currently operational in Russell at 22 York Street, so cool to have Jamie on board, Mike C.

nice bit of swell

Some fun waves were had over the weekend on the East Coast, light onshores but still fun, only 3 weeks to go the the Third Annual Cove Fish Fry, exciting times, Mike C.

local legend

It was great to catch up with Tui Wordley and his boys at Sandy Bay this week, Tui is one of Northland's first surfers and a true local legend, now living in Australia he ventured back to NZ with his three boys to check out his old surf spots, share stories, memories and photos, Tui also caught up with members of the Tatahi Surf Club including another local legend Laurie Langridge, Mike C.
