Alley Fish Fry 2010

January 18, 2010 | Words By: Angela

fish-fry-2010-poster-smallThose of you with a fish fetish take note: on Sunday 14 March, Currumbin Alley is THE place be as this year’s Alley Fish Fry will be in full swing. Come along and admire, covet, and generally find out more about some of the most fabulous incarnations of this fun little board…

Organiser Grant Newby says: “The Fish Fry is a non-competitive and non-commercial gathering of board riders and builders of these sweet craft. It’s about you shapers who craft these boards, and those of us who enjoy the ride. Each year we see many new ideas on the original theme, and that’s what is so great about the evolution of the fish.
The day is held in the park across the road from the Currumbin Alley, which means there are waves at the point, the river mouth or the beach break depending on the conditions. So bring lunch, the family and your mates with you to celebrate the fish in its many forms.”
