Kaikoura Roadie

So hav'nt had an update for a while.. Chch has'nt been lacking in swell though had few few classic days over the last month or so.. but had a quick mish up the coast to kaikoura to try and get a few waves in before the boys indo trip departing next Sunday. Fcuk Yeah!

Just a collection of things:

When all of kaiks was flat Oaro supplied the goodness.

Nice piece of editing by rhymes..

Lone Soldier

The swell has been pumping for the last week.. So on sunday the wind swung offshore and i rolled down to brighton to snap a few shots.. Sadley, i wasn't heading out cos i have an avulsion injury to my 4th and 5th metatarsils (my ankle)..

What a day, there was a solid 4-5ft swell rolling in and just one lone soldier out back surfing.

Out back by the way was at least 50m past the end of brighton pier, and i watched about 6 guys attempt the paddle and get nowhere. The best option would have been to jump off the end of the pier at high tide..

I was almost to excited to take pictures, but heres a few shots:

Vintage Shots

Brighton Explosion week 2
