Oaro

Shot up to Oaro, and had an epic time, the swell had vanished almost, but there was 1-2ft rolling through on a sweet little shallow reef, with a bit of fin grinding i managed to score a few rides before the tide went out..


then a little off the logriding.. and onto some aotearoa seafood..

scoured the rock pools and scored some good size paua, and these little beauties, "kina" best eaten straight from the source..





a few other little spots that ooze potential on the right swell..

Hot doggin

Team talk


waiting for the virtual set to roll in


heading for the nose, to hang some paws


just chilling in the tube.. its a tough life

Balcony Spotting 2


Here is a good example of a lumpy offshore, spotted on sunday.

Looked like there was a decent wave at brighton on sunday morning.. shame i didnt get out of bed till 11..by the time i reached the pier it had swung onshore.. Suck

8am start

Word got around that there was going to be a solid swell on saturday.. so the call was made by andy, and we did a little mission up the coast to somewhat secret spot.. greeted by a ruffled solid 4ft swell and small crowd of surfers?? still there was heaps of waves to be had, heres some digi snaps..

Balcony Spotting

for some reason i have been absolutley useless at taking any decent shots even though christchurch has been pumping with swell the last few weeks.. its insane, this place is surf city!!!

anyway i did manage to take a few shots from my balcony..
