8th anual NY Fish Fry

Over the weekend I attended the NY Fish Fry with other Apes Justin and Freaky Born Wings. Fun small waves were on tap and fun was had by all. I planned to document the event more thoroughly but ended up surfing the whole time. Here are some shots I was able to get before packing it in and heading back to RI.

 New Jersey's Danny Callaghan of Dcal surfboards came over. He makes really fun, functional and creative surf craft. He also rips and is super nice and personable. 

 Keels all day!

 More keels. 

Long Island's Mark Patrocelli of Faktion surfboards always representing and the fry. I wish I would have taken an bronzer for a spin. Mark was slaying it out in the lineup. 

 It was all about the long fish at this fry. Here is Tyler's Josh Hall long keel fish. 

 Post surf good times and party vibes. 

 The sun eventually came out. Some were seeking shade. 

 Fish quiver and a couple of Blue Gull by Wegener surfboards. 

 So many boards and so little time. Until next year.

After battling the traffic in NY and CT I finally made it home to RI. Here is my fish quiver drying in the back yard. Top to bottom: 9'11 Deepest Reaches MEGAfish, 5'10 Kookbox fish, 5'10 Josh Hall J Hall fish.

All the Fish!

The 2012 Fish Fry(e) was a roaring success with delicious waves, tasty winds, and more Fish than you could shake a spear at.

Kris putting pedal to metal.  You know he's serious when his hand never leaves the yogurt.

Chris Gentile of Pilgrim Surf & Supply, giving the Chicken Petter a shaka hood ornament.


Piles of keel fish, one of the original Mini Simmons, hand planes, even a Lightning Bolt.  Didn't get a picture of it but there was a fiberglass handplane that was one big deep concave and looked sick.

Petro of Faktion Surfboards, petting the Chicken.

 Todd of the Endless Bummer blog.  Love this brother.  He's like a stoke amplifier.

This Sunset stinger single fin ruled.  Gave me one of my favorite rides of the day. 

Enough geekery, time to get the Chicken Petter wet!  It did great in the 4' waves.  I felt like I was riding an antigravity skateboard.  Floaty, caught waves easy, rode loose, and just wanted to dance like James Brown.

Huge thanks to Tyler Breuer, Chris Gentile and SMASH Surf for organizing this event and all the other things they do to make surfing in NY more fun!
