Polar Bear #2

Take 2, a few more 35mm images from the 35th Polar Bear surf comp at Sandy Bay over the weekend, cheers Mike C.

the salty circus

A mixed crew of Northlanders headed to the Mount over the weekend to attend The Salty Circus, a day of surfing all and every type of wavecraft you can imagine, Roger Hall was amongst the crew with one of his original 1970's Twin Keel Fishies and an 8'8'' Double Hot Curl (finless), I could not make it down there but heard it was a big success with a great turnout of boards and surfers, well done to the crew at DGZ for their part in the organisation, 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.

thinking out loud

Small adventures can sometimes have the biggest impact, I tripped out to one my local spots, 'Sandy Bay' and had an average surf with mostly close-outs and did not see any of the usual suspects, while floating around I felt kinda sad but soon after leaving the water I was surrounded by surf mates that were also on the search, it made me think about what surfing really means to me and how many great friends surfing has brought into my life, just thinking out loud really, have a great week, Mike C.

and the winner is.....

Darren Vujcich came up to the Surfline factory in Ruakaka over Easter to collect his 2015 TCFF Twin Keel Fish, he is stoked to say the least, Laurie Langridge who helped to get the raffle going and Roger Hall who made the board were there to share the stoke with Darren, Darren will be bringing the board to next years TCFF on the 13th of March 2016, yewza!, 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.
