Fried Fish & Chips

If you have any interest in custom surfboards and love looking at board porn, then do yourself a favor and check out the pics from the recent European Fish Fry held in Devon, UK. Its nice to see the faces behind the names...

Mr. Richie Pavel (what the hell?)...


Mr. Chris Christenson, Pavel, and M. Caro ("you da man, no, YOU da man...hey anyone wanna order food?")...


Mr. Manuel Caro and friends (Uhh excuse me, Mr. Caro, where's my board!?!?) ...


Of course, there were some cool (or 'sick' as the groms say) new designs...






...along with some innovative concepts. This one has a power assist turbine engine that provides a 3-second push just at the right moment. Almost like having your own personal surf instructor push you into every wave!


In the end, looks like some good fun was had by all...


Hopefully one day in the not too distant future I'll be at the next Fish Fry skipping around like a little teenage groupie stalking my favorite shapers. HeeHee!!!!

(BTW, I stole these pictures from the SurferMag Design Forum. The original thread and zillions more photos here.)

Enjoy!
