The 2008 NJ Fish Fry is scheduled for May 4th, 2008 at LBI, NJ The exact beach will be posted as we get closer to the event.
What is a ‘Fish Fry’ you ask? Think of a car show, but instead of cars its surfboards and instead of looking at them you get to ride them (with the owners permission of course). A bunch of like minded people showing up
at the beach with boards they bought, shaped, or borrowed, trying new boards, and exchanging ideas. It is also an opportunity for professional shapers to introduce their shapes to people who may not have otherwise ever seen them before and a place that alternate or ‘off the grid’ shapes can be introduced to people with open minds. Its place for a backyard shaper to get inspired, share stoke, open your mind to different designs, or just meet and talk to some local shapers.
This event’s success hinges on the participants bring boards with them to show off and share. Fill your car with boards and head to the beach May 4th for a day of stoke and fun. This is a family friendly event. We are trying to keep it non-commercial and low key. Please don’t bring banners, logoed ez-up tents, alcoholic drinks, etc. If you have any questions please me know. Thanks.
