Kia Ora!
Hey Cuzi’s, we are in New Zealand! True. This week Aquabumps will be coming to you from the North Island of N-Zed…only a short three and a half hour flight out of Sydney. Today’s images are shot at Piha Beach, a super chilled, coastal town only 40 minutes out of Auckland.
The weather is immaculate today (20), clean offshores and 3-4 footers on the high tide. It’s super tidal here – especially at this time of year where there is a 3 metre gap from high to low tide. The back drops are amazing and the beaches on the west coast are unique with black volcanic sand. Too meke!
Hope you’re enjoying the 2-3 footers at East exposed beaches back in Sydney.
Heading to Raglan – should be pumping on Wednesday/Thursday… later :: uge
Following the sprout boys around eh!
Eh?

Good to meet you today Eugene – waves pumped all day – lookn forward to pix of Rags
Good to meet you as well Luke. Sorry I didn’t have time to hang around and have a chat with ya, we had to get on the road to Raglan.
Stoked to meet a Aquabumps reader in one of the quietest places of the world I’ve been to in a while! Loved Piha – I will be back (for longer than 24hrs!) Cheers, ::uge

Awesome flicks mate. “Piha Middles, NZ with Nun Rock in the background” is really cool! I like all the latest stuff also. It’s quite funny cause I actually just returned from 8 days in the North Island and Piha was my first destination also! Check out what I got at flickr.com/ed_de Yeww
