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.

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.

my first fry

This is a link to an online gallery of my first Fish Fry adventure, The Alley Fish Fry 2009, I have been lucky to attend four Alley Fish Fry events and each one was a roaring success thanks to organiser Grant Newby's love of the fish surfboard and open minded approach to surfing, Mike C.

AU bodysurf guru

Australian bodysurfing guru Jason Cuthbert has booked his flights to attend The Cove Fish Fry next year, I met Jas at the Alley Fish Fry a few years ago, really interesting guy with loads of bodysurfing equipment and waveriding experience, a real waterman who can make a wavecraft out of just about anything, even a toilet lid (middle photo above), he will be a great guy to talk to about handplanes, mats and cubits, Mike C.
