Wooden Boards Day 2016

Just had word in from Grant Newby on the Gold Coast of Australia about another super successful Wooden Boards Day at Currumbin AU, I would have loved to have been there this Sunday gone, I have been lucky enough to attend one in 2011 and been to many Alley Fish Frys which are also organised by Grant, well done mate, Mike C.

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.

big success

Spoke to Grant 'Big Fish' Newby today after his 7th Annual Wooden Boards Day yesterday on the Gold Coast, it was a huge success once again, 'Great day, great weather, 24c, great day all round!' Grant, more info at http://woodensurfboards.blogspot.co.nz/ Mike C.

open minded

One of the things that I love about surfing is trying different equipment and sharing it with others, my current workable Quiver is rather varied from finless to single fins, paipos to mats, here are a few images to get your Easter fizz on, not great looking surf conditions on the East Coast so it maybe time for a surf mission, Mike C.

the big fish

Been great having Grant 'Big Fish' Newby over from Australia for the 2015 Cove Fish Fry and hanging out with him in the surf, what an amazing guy, blessed, Mike C.

big fish

A special custom order for Grant 'Big Fish' Newby the founder of The Alley Fish Fry, this 10'1'' has been made by Roger Hall for Grant's visit back to his homeland, both Grant and the board will be at TCFF this Sunday, TWO DAYS TO GO !, Mike C.
