The third annual Cove Fish Fry is not far away, set down for the 13th of March 2016 at Waipu Cove, the buzz has started already and I have to get a few things sorted but all is well in hand, can't wait to catch up with you all on the day, Cheers Mike C.

50 years on

Our good friend Moonbob scored himself a mint 50 year old Del Master Phase 1 shaped by Don Wilson (NZ), he had a blast at Sandy Bay yesterday, very interesting board, great to see it have another lease of life, Mike C.

The one and only Mark Wheeler from Kaone Point Surfboards at Tutukaka is at it again, this is his new stick, Quad set-up, Paua inlay and classic resin pinlines, nice work mate, Mike C.

A massive Merry Xmas to you all, be safe, travel well and get some quality sea time, from Mike C and all those involved with The Cove Fish Fry.

aquatic apparel

Local shaper and down right nice guy Craig Galley with his two latest shapes all decked out with fabric inlays, yes it is the same fabric as his shirt, trend setter, Mike C.

mini groms

The 2015 Mini Grom Comp on Saturday at Waipu Cove was epic, the kids just loved it, with knee to waist high waves and offshore winds the conditions were pretty much perfect for the grommets, well done to all involved, Mike C.

surf dojo

Caught up with Tony Baker, Nubby and Tom from The Mangawhai Surf Dojo before another Far North adventure, Tony puts his heart and soul into surfing and is super keen to share his knowledge with the next generation of groms, heard they scored some pretty epic waves, well done boys, Mike C.

what you doing

Are you making a board for The Fry?, if so let me know and I will document your project, Cheers Mike C.
