Surfing in New Zealand

by Andrew Norton

Happy New Year, One and All.

Apologies for the lack of posts recently, but Christmas and New Year were busy and now I’m in New Zealand!

I’m planning a full update of surf spots visited and lessons learned on a long haul family surf trip, but for now here’s a pic of Piha.

It’s just 30 minutes away from the centre of Auckland!

I surfed here today – Piha, New Zealand
