Fried fish

Went up to the Alley last weekend and had a look at the fish fry with sydney shapers Sean Wilde and Mark Gnech. The guys were taking a break from an old school road trip: van stacked with boards,sleeping out under the stars,beans out of cans and the obligitory stints at the pub. Mark was doing some R'n'D on some fruity new shapes he's been working on as well as stocking up all the 'Narra boys that are up the coast now. There was much Radness to be had. My favourites were of course my WILDE Simmons...Tom Wegeners chambered Alaia, The Mandala boards that Tyler Warren had bought over and of course the coloured awesomness from the guys at SEA.

heres a few shots i pinched from the Fish Fry blog....
