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

A Classic Shot...

Mr Nuuhiwa in the midst of it all.. the ultimate transition from old to new...

From The Dubstar Archives- Seashapes Rocket Fish 6'9

These photographs were submitted by John Schultz. This is a 6'9 SeaShapes twin fin rocket fish-ish fish from the 70's. The board came to dubstar via Justin Schwartz (onefin). John says, "This board does not ride anything like my pavels(despite it's similar length), but it has potential...I haven't ridden it much yet, but have gotten some nice waves, seems to work best in Chest to Head, as opposed to Waist." Dubstar further remarked. "that the board has also given me a few beatings! the more vertical "twin fins" definitely make for a different type of ride".

Sea shapes was out of the East Coast,(North Carolina?) The board is signed RP, which is most likely Rich Price, who went on to natural art.

Thanks Dub for the info and photos- send fishy photos etc to brullj@gmail.com

The fish fry is a couple of weeks away and its confirmed that Josh Hall will be in for it as is the Pendarvis family. Stay tuned from more info on the fry(E).
