in bloom

The Algal Bloom has made its annual visit to the Cove, it's not great to surf in and is getting rather smelly on the beach in this hot Northland summer weather, council and locals are working on a plan to clean it up again, Mike C.

The Northland surf community, Bream Bay Sliders and friends of Phil Jam are planning a paddle out to honor his contribution to the NZ surfing community at Waipu Cove in February next year, date to be confirmed, he will be missed, love Mike C.

ride anything

Robbo found himself an Ashley Kneeboard and with a few modifications with the help of Mike Koosman from Tutukaka he now has a small wave destroyer. the original Steve Lis Fish was a kneeboard and changed the face of surfing for ever, nice work Robbo and it was nice to see Taj patiently waiting for his master to return from the sea, Mike C.

Craig Galley has just finished a stunning little Twin Keel Fish upcycled from an old Bob Davie's board, shaped by hand and eye, glassed under the watchfull eye of Mike Koosman and fine foiled fins by Sean Haggerty, this will be on display at TCFF 2016, Mike C.
