UK Fish Love

hi there from the UK,

been watching your blog for a bit and wanted to sing the praises of my latest fish from Aus - a 5'10 by 20 1/4 by 2 5/8 Jim Banks mk 3 fish - it's awesome - I've had a few fish over the years including a Frye but this board beats them all - that awesome drive you would hope for but along with that offering so much more performance and versatility - the best of both worlds - i love it - in fact so much so that i bought a second identical one - i feel like i found the holy grail of fish! Anyway - I attached a pic me on the Banksy in the grey onshore mush that we've been surfing this weekend - still in 6mm of rubber with cold N Easterlies blowing straight from the Arctic - I know it's not a pretty picture and is unlikely to make the blog but i was stoked that Lingy took the time to stand out on the beach and snap a couple for me. Wish i could make it out for the fry -All the best Michael Rooke

On another note-

The Fish Frye is this weekend at Grand Blvd. In Long Beach (about 3/4 miles west of Lincoln).The location has been moved from Lincoln due to conflicts with the NSSA competition. Stay tuned to update regarding whether things are going down Saturday or Sunday!!! Looking forward to seeing the Pendarvis' and Josh Hall.

Take note of the new location of the 2010 fish frye-Grand Avenue, Long Beach New York

Please send more fish pix to brullj@gmail.com

RED ALERT!

A little change in plans...
This year there is an NSSA contest scheduled for the same weekend as the Fish Fry at Lincoln.
After some research and consultation with several seasoned fryer's and LB Locals the Fish Fry will now be held at GRAND BLVD.
Please pass this along to anyone that might not be checking for the updates.

Thanks in advance and sorry for the confusion!

Mackie Fish

Hi Jack,
I'm a friend of Andrew Kidman's and I do some stuff with his mate Mick Mackie, basically just bringing a few of his boards into the US because they are f**king awesome really. Saw your call out for some fish pics and thought why not? There is a Mackie out East., Joey Clams has the first flextail we got into the US and I'd sort of hoped to make it over for the Fry but I don't think that's going to happen. I'm pretty sure I'll make the NY Surf Film deal and hopefully will lug a few boards with me, we'll see.
thanks,Kirk

Thanks for the images, Kirk- that red board looks unreal..
Send more fishy pics brullj@gmail.com

Pendoflex

Looking forward to seeing Steve and Cher Pendarvis at the NY fish fry(e). Interesting readers should check the surfers journal several issues back. Steve talks about flex and explains the pendoflex!!

Fresh Fish are Coming

May 15th or 16th depending on weather and more importantly waves!!!

Susannah and the Wounded Gull

Susannah Ray sent the pictures above in of her and her Mark Richards Twinnie. The Wounded Gull was my favorite surfer as a kid.

Susannah writes, "I was checking out the fish frye ny blog and saw your call for pix.
Here is a pic from a few years back from when my MR supertwin (hand shaped by the wounded gull himself, he has astonishingly neat handwriting) was brand new. Note the feminist modification of the logo. This board is pretty chippy but still has the wonderful skatey quality of a twin. I'm finally in the market for a old school twin, to make grovelling that much more easier. But this MR twin is fun even in small waves, I managed to get a lot of knee highs on it in Barbados this January!"

Thnaks for the email- still calling for more pics, send to: brullj@gmail.com

a different kind of sled... surfcraft inspired

Kevin Brenner sent these photos in of his "winter fish". Kevin is greatly inspired by surfing and the fish shape. He writes that the "The Winterstick, DM (winterstick creator) was a frustrated landlocked surfer from the east coast (White Plains!!) who based his snowboard designs on surfboards from his era around mid-late 70's (the fish)"

"These boards are sandwich construction 100% maple laminated to a sintered ptex base and pressed by hand

powdersurfskates: no bindings, straps, or ropes, just need some powder to float on and turn on, alittle steep helps too. been riding them on a bunch of eastern slopes past two seasons...super fun"

Kevin thanks for the photos!!! if ya got interesting fishy photos please submit to brullj@gmail.com
