A weekend at the PU

A weekend at the PU, Waipu Cove put on a show for us this weekend, home of The Cove Fish Fry, Mike C.

MP resto

MP Restoration is complete, well done Rhys!, Mike C.

restorative justice

The time and effort that will go into this restoration is completely justified, Rhys Owen is using all his skills and experience to restore this original handshaped MP Singlefin, Rhys also sourced an original fin template from the late Phil Jamieson, hopefully this board will be on display at The 2017 Cove Fish Fry, Mike C.

dynamic duo

Craig Galley is seeing double with his latest creation inspired by Neal Purchase's Duo model, full chambered timber Duo finned beauty, another fantastic board to display at The Cove Fish Fry 2017, Mike C.

film studies

You may have noticed already but all the images on TCFF blog are on 35mm film, this has always been a passion of mine and documenting the Northland surf culture looks great on film, I hope you all enjoy the blog and I also hope it keeps the stoke alive in between the FRYS, Mike C.

mini adventures

Been lucky enough to have a few mini surf adventures since The 2016 Cove Fish Fry, hope to be catching up with some more local legends soon for interviews and portraits of both them and their quivers, Mike C.

loggerheads 3

Saturday was the day for the Third Annual Loggerheads Comp at Waipu Cove, usually at Mangawhai but conditions dictated a change of venue, this longboarding event is a 'tip of the hat' to the traditional style of logging, pure, fun and no leggie!, put together by local surfing legend Tony Baker, more images soon, Mike C.
