Legless Fry-up Legless followers will be well aware of our high regard for Steve Lis and the home-grown, stoke-fuelled, independent approach to surfing epitomised by his fish designs. The reach and longevity of both his design and the ethos that has nurtured it since its sequestered birth in 1967 stands today as a reminder to us all. That ethos is, above all, why we surf as we do: we should celebrate it. After visiting a casual celebration of all things Fish at Oceanside in California during 2006, Grant Newby decided his home beach of Currumbin could host something similar. The inaugural Alley Fish Fry was held in the park at Currumbin one clear blue Sunday in March 2007. It wasn’t much more than a gathering of friends and like-minded strangers but it felt good and sparked enough interest to be repeated the following year, and the next and the next, ever growing in depth and popularity but never losing its spirit and local feel. Sunday March 4th it’s on for the sixth time. Currumbin Alley is one of the Goldie’s special places: it has a little bit of something for everyone. There’s a point, beachbreaks and a rivermouth wave that, with the right alignment of swell, wind, sand and tide, can hollow out or wall up and run forever. There’s a sheltered stretch of beach beside the creek-mouth, a decent chunk of park for meeting friends and getting the barbie going, the obligatory café stretch along the road, and pouring over it all, that glorious Queensland sunshine. There’ll be surfers and shapers, both amateur and professional, boards weird and wonderful to look at and to ride, a truckload of aloha and the chance to meet and chew the fat with all and sundry. With the tour in town for the start of the season at the Quikkie Pro down the road at Snapper, you never know who you might rub shoulders with while you drool over fish, slabs, eggs, hulls, twinnies, singles and various permutations of shapes old, new, and revisited. The Saturday night before the Fish Fry itself there’s a get-together at the Gold Coast Surf Museum: beers, barbie, a film screening and guest speaker Mr Dick Van Straalen. If you’re on the Goldie and into alt. surf get down there and wave your freak flag high. Be there or be square. http://thealleyfishfry.blogspot.com.au/
