Surfing remote New Zealand

[@poncholarpez6233]

I knew exactly where this was when I saw the horse in the street and the break out front. This brings back good memories, surfing in the corner and over the hill in cyclone swells.

Makes this Maori homesick. Awesome vid. You know, it’s funny just how many kiwi’s havn’t surfed around there. It’s a pilgrimage of sorts that I think all kiwi surfers have to do ( especially when its pumping!!! ) at some point. The horse in the street cracked me up. Back in 2003..I took my then american wife on a Surfari around there...she says “Where’s all the cars, I havn’t seen one for 30 minutes ( we were driving ) and right then we come around a corner and there’s two kids on a horse going the other way; I said..”Kiwi traffic, busy day round here..” The White Mountains of New Hampshire are a long way from there Cuz; plenty of snow, but no surf...Aue. Great video...Haere ra.

Thanks mate for the kind comment and sharing your memory! The White Mountains look like not a bad place to be either. Its funny how these horses are all over the place, this one was especially persistent and walked right through the skatepark. Best way of transport I would say.

I grew up surfing those breaks, the one at 4:50 is my home break...mainly surfed the left off the rocks though, good to see someone else enjoying those waves...hope yous left some good vibes there✌

Where's the Viszla come from? :) Nice video.

[@FX_Taylor_B]

Kia Ora! Awesome Vid mate.

[@gregm4474]

Nice! Reminds me of surfing the East Cape in the late 70s

[@tank.4496]

Greg M that pretty much is east cape, Te Araroa to be exact. I live there.

[@gregm4474]

TANK. 44 Is there a pub nearby? I remember playing pool, drinking glass jugs of beer for less than a dollar, feeding the juke box & eating some awesome seafood after a morning session...locals were weary at first but warmed to me & my brothers by the end of the night 🚶

[@tank.4496]

Greg M, there was a pub but was burned down a few years back. Still heaps of seafood though.

[@alihenderson1362]

Great videos lads !! I need to try find some secret little spots like this !!

[@Swingkid14]

Epic! Where's the white skatepark?

[@rowanbrebner4941]

Maraetotara Ohope Beach

[@maoriboy1303]

eea thats where im from. cool surf vid

[@mozdickson]

took our 3 kids camping and surfing up there at XXX every summer for ages, under them Pohutukawas...I've surfed all round the world, but tbh nothing beats that

[@tank.4496]

Nice clip, I actually live there lol.

[@MrTheGiant]

For me as a european surfer it`s still unimaginable to find waves like this and to not even see one soul out there!

[@mozdickson]

In truth Its super crowded down here in New Zealand and the localism is heavy. Better off going to Morocco or Canary Islands mate!

[@yeewpitted3184]

Disagree! Pack up your car and start driving!! Cold water and harsh weather = less crowed

[@thierryfossemalle7393]

I thought Haast or near there, but you say North??!!.. looks very west coast though.. feel free to giz a clue..

[@singlefin7768]

As Far East as you can go

[@joegreig6786]

This is a very worthy cause: if only I had more cash, my retirement fund has been diminishing

[@azzanaki6368]

Freedom campers suck and ruin our breaks

[@singlefin7768]

Why ?

[@mozdickson]

They can be a problem. They shit anywhere and love their little wet wipes which will not degrade in a thousand years. Some are ok, like the young French guy I shared two flawless mornings with at Hawai - 4 foot and sunny and 3 or 4 in the water. He was frothing --- little did he know how rare that circumstance is! I expect a boatload of Frenchies will come!
