The Rhemagraphics Art of Surfing Show will be a celebration of the surfboard manufacturing industry, hopefully showcasing all boards of shape and size. The event is taking place to help out the Surfworld Museum and to celebrate the history of the surfing industry. So get your entries in.
After the success of the first Wooden Board Day at Currumbin Alley last August, Grant Newby (of Fish Fry fame) decided to organise another for Sunday 8th of August in the park across the road from the beach.
After waking up not so unusually late, my mood dropped with the sound of the rain on the roof on my van. I was shooting the 4th annual Alley Fish Fry on Australia’s Gold Coast, but I wasn’t going to allow a bit of rain to spoil the day. I’m a British surfer, goddammit, used to braving much worse conditions in search of a wave. This bit of drizzle was nothing to write home about.
Join the likes of Robbie Kegel and the Gato Heroi crew at Currumbin on Sunday 14 March, as they and a whole bunch of fish freaks swap designs and ideas.
Check the Fish Fry blog for all the latest news. Anyone who can’t make it can check a full run down here on Drift just as soon as we can get it together. Meantime, here’s a selection of phots from last year’s Fry to whet your appetite…
Those of you with a fish fetish take note: on Sunday 14 March, Currumbin Alley is THE place be as this year’s Alley Fish Fry will be in full swing. Come along and admire, covet, and generally find out more about some of the most fabulous incarnations of this fun little board…
