fter eight successful Frys, some might still not know what it is all about so let me explain: The Cove Fish Fry is basically a surfboard and surf craft ‘show and shine’ day; an excuse to hang out at the Waipū Cove Reserve with like-minded surfers and shapers and look at surfboards and hopefully get a wave or two, catch up with friends, take a few photos and enjoy the atmosphere at this fabulous location.
