It all started with the fish when the innovative shapers and board builders out there decided to revisit the past for some inspiration. In doing so they brought back some lost skills such as resin tints and hand foiled fins.The Fish Fry has been a place for these fine craftsmen to showcase their skills. We have seen some amazing boards as shapers have pushed the boundaries over the last few years. As this new look at the fish has evolved to its many forms, it has influenced other shapes and designs along the way.This has spawned a renewed interest in other board forms by this same group and a wider following.Notably the Mini Simmons, Hulls, old school Logs and Pigs. It is pleasing to note that there are an increasing number of people building their own boards as well.All of this is to be applauded and celebrated as a positive for surfing.So it is only natural that these shapers and board builders continue to share their skills with us and include these other shapes at the Fish Fry.It has truly become a melting pot of ideas for like minded people.

New York Fish Fry May 15th or 16th

If you are heading to New York then you should plan to check out the 3rd annual New York Fish Fry on May 15th or 16th. The date will be determined a few days before the event based on the weather and surf , so stay tuned. This is sure to be a great time if you are in town. Take your quiver or just go and check out everyone elses. It will kick off at 9am Lincoln Blvd, Long Beach, New York.
It is great to see that the Fish Fry can exist anywhere there are some hard core Fish Heads willing to get together for a day of fun.
