This is all from Piha which is the best day of surf I had on the trip (the only other sesh was weak Raglan beach break).

Image

Another view from 'surf shop' backyard. The sandbar break is on the left.

Image

You walk under this ledge to get to the paddle out spot on big days. I'd be more worried about a rock falling on my head then a few extra duck dives.

Image

The Piha lineup..it's a left that starts off the rock and peels across the sandbar at LOW TIDE. Other tides it doesn't work and turns back to a regular crappy beachbreak. This is just before it turned on, but you can still see the sandbar beginning to shape up.

Image

A couple of waves.

Image

This was the only good shot I got. There were only a couple of people there and they seemed to be kind of intimidated by the 4'ers. This place has 'heaps of grunt' by NZ standards but I didn't really see it on a really good day so it's hard to tell. The barrels were really easy to get in and out of though and I had a blast.

Image

THis is the board I was riding...a rental BIC high performance model. I gotta say it really surprised me how well this think worked, especially in the tube. It would make a good all-around travel board.

Image

This is KareKare just a few minutes away. A punchy looking collection of beachbreaks that obviously have their days, but of course this day Piha was better.

Image

Karekare beach. Soooo NZ.

Image

Another view of Piha.

I smake like windsurfer. Good construction. Not like stupid fibreglass board. You need a sail and master for big air.
