NEW PLYMOUTH LOCAL:<br />
‘ARCH’ ARTHUR<br />
BEACH STREET SURF SHOP<br />
After catching up with the boys at Dell we called by Beach Street Surf to see<br />
Wayne ‘Arch’ Arthur, a man involved in all things surf related in Taranaki.<br />
Arch of course has his own surf store along with two clothing lines, Black<br />
Sand and Lost in the 60s. He publishes a monthly surf newspaper entitled<br />
‘Taranaki Daily Surf’ featuring photos from around the local beaches and<br />
surf comps. He is heavily involved in the New Plymouth Surf Riders Club,<br />
which just so happens to be right on the foreshore of Fitzroy Beach and<br />
boasts some 400 members. And, he co-hosts the Out the Back Surf Show<br />
with fellow local surf fantaic, JM on 100.4 The Most FM.<br />
Arch asked if we would be guests on the show and we graciously<br />
accepted spending the afternoon ‘in the booth’ drinking Steinlager and<br />
talking drivel about the mag... All in a normal days work at smorgasboarder<br />
really.<br />
It was a priviledge to be involved in the local show and a lot of fun to<br />
sit down for a chat - despite Arch’s attempts at Aussie-bashing at every<br />
opportunity, that is. We’re only extremely sorry we didn’t get a chance<br />
to catch up with the crew at the local boardriders club for Friday arvo<br />
drinks on the deck.<br />
Our ferry to the South Island, however, wouldn’t wait, so we hightailed it<br />
to Wellington for the next exciting leg of our journey.<br />
