GOLD COAST FISH FRY: UPDATE
Wednesday, 7 February 2007

Scott Bass, the online editor for Surfer Magazine; Chris Christenson who is a Skip Fryes protege; Rich Pavel, master fish shaper from San Diego; John Belik, who was there the first day a knee board was ridden stand up, lives in Maui and makes quads; Sean Mattison from Surf Ride Board Stores are all booked and coming. Also a good chance Jim from Lokbox / Rainbow Fins will show.

The Fish Fry is a gathering started by a small group of surfers and shapers in San Diego who decided to spend a day celebrating the fish.

Now is your opportunity to share your passion for this versatile little craft. Rock up with your old boards and new shapes, swap ideas and boards, and spend the day enjoying the surf at the Alley, Currumbin, Gold Coast Australia on Sunday, 4 March 2007.

Also in March...
the Noosa Festival of Surfing.

http://www.pacificlongboarder.com/news. ... category=1

there is a 'retro surfing' division in the comp;
no mention of kneeboarding, however

A few years ago, when Phil Jarrett (now with Quicky) was an organiser, he was asked why kneeboarding was not included, replied, 'no-one does it any more, do they?"

Maybe a few of us should nominate; get to surf first point with no crowd

Should be an excelent opportunity to sight up some beautiful rail lines and bottom configurations. Thats a pretty grounded geneology. If anything you can discern the differences or simularities in 2fin to 4fin concepts. See how things evolved on different sides of the planet with different approaches in mind. The rails and template lines should be something to drool over. Plan on it!!!!!

Hi Lowrider,
not a bad idea about the noosa festival of surfing, perhaps we should put up a demo expression session? I'm sure there would be enough of us to put togehter a scrath 6 kneelo heat. ust getting first point to ourselves would be fun
Looking forward to the weekend, could be good

OT do you know who rides the quad I've seen around the junction over the last week strapped to the top of a small 4WD?

cheers Riq

Oh Lowrider, about the fish fry, are you interested in making your way to Currumbin? Do you want a co pilot?
cheers Riq

[lowrider]

Hey Riq,
I've been away... will see you at the 'Pa & Ma Bendall'??

[Riq dekneelo]

You've missed some decent surf, I'v ethe abraded ankle from flippers to prove it, However I won't be going to the Pa Bendall.
My Brother, BBQ Drew, captain of the australian team playing for the ashes in central park:lol: is out from NY and mum's putting on a lamb roast dinner.... Only chance to catch him is this weekend. I'll catch up with you next week
cheers, Riq

Seems like the date has come and gone. No input? No insight? No takers?

frankfqr,
I decided that the 3 hour drive one way wasn't worth it as the local points were going off, wave starved as I was, I just got wet instead..... much personal satisfaction but no fishy interaction
cheers Riq
