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.

Kookbox pop up in NYC

Over the weekend Kookbox participated in a pop up shop in downtown Manhattan. I stopped by to feel up the boards and see what else Kookbox offers. For starters the boards are super legit. The fish and quad pin are in collaboration with Jeff McCallum and are super sweet. Both seem like very useful boards for these parts. The space was small but the stoke was high. The Kookox website is under redesign but you can stay up to date with the latest on their Facebook page.







I picked up a Kookbox hoodie. They are fleeced lined made of heavy cotton and hand made in Canada. I'll write a review on this once the springs comes but so far it's keeping me quite warm. I also had my eye on there rubber tops that are made in Japan. Maybe for next summer. Kookbox is one of those companies that have style and quality all the while keeping it home grown and grass roots. I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next.
