June 8 in Casa do Sol, Costa da Caparica
by Howard Swanwick
03/03/2008:// One of the most interesting events in the alternative surfboard design scenario, the Fish Fry will take place on June 8th in Casa do Sol, Costa da Caparica, Portugal.
The event in Portugal is made possible by our contacts with other “afishionados” abroad and the special Lokbox support.
This happening opens a window to the underground surf culture. Allowing Portuguese “afiishionados” to spend some time together with other people, experiment and share the plethora of contemporaneous “fish” interpretations.
The Fish Fry started in California 2006. The idea was to spread the design and to avoid it getting lost in time. The results have been very positive, the growing interest in the fish design spread the event overseas to places like Australia, Japan and Europe.
For 30 years, the “Fish” design has fascinated many surfers and artisans because of its shape, performance and feeling transmitted to the surfer. Some considers it a mythic design of Surfing History for the cultural atmosphere around these boards transforming it in a cult object.
