Attitude is the ultimate piece of equipment – no matter how good the wave or how tuned the board – a lousy attitude definitely ruins your day.

2007 we hosted the first Alley Fish Fry after attending what was the 4th Fish Fry at Oceanside Beach in California in 2006. We asked the guys if they would be ok with us having one in Australia. They were fine and so off we went for the next 10 years. It’s quite amazing when you put it out there that you’re gonna meet in a park with your surfboards,promise nothing and people turn up from all over. Guys who have never been to Australia before turned up with their girlfriend in a wicked camper and six surfboards to meet you in the park for the day. Back then the fish was considered an alternative board. It was a simple gathering but one of the few places where shapers were able to show their wares. It was definitely an eye-opener to many in the industry and I think it helped shape the acceptance of surfing different boards. It’s certainly taken a long time for the white surfboard brigade to now be offering fishes in their ranges. The fish has proven to be more than an alternative board but a very adaptable fun way to enjoy your surfing. We had great support from many quarters and it was lots of fun to be apart of. But if felt like it had run it’s course.

Always good to get feedback on boards I make and know that all the effort is worth it. My Hydro V design is very effective on this little ripper right through to the Gliders I make. I have hung my hat on this concept for most all of my boards in the range. I also have a range of tried and true traditional designs in my longboards.

A sad day as we farewelled AK. But we also celebrated the life of a great guy who was loved by the many whose lives he was a part of. A beautiful morning at the beach was a fitting farewell to a lovely man. RIP AK, taken way too soon.
