Our First Surf on the way to our digs. Boards off . . .

Seemed ok, stood up lots of times, waves ok! Boards back on!

Famous toilets (can't remember the name of the town?)

We were driving behind the surf truck. The quad bike wasn't with us, just herding the cows across the road. There's more cows and sheep in this place than in Norfolk!

The view from where we were staying, just step outside the door and this was in front of us.

View from digs again.

Second day surf location . . . . Taupo Bay (North East coast)

James pondering and checking out the waves . . .

King Kong behind the waves in the cliffs!

The view of the beach (lovely!!)

James taking to the water . . .

Hmmm, it's not too cold . . . keep going!

Not sure the waves are big enough for me really??

Not the white water - I'm so much better than this!!

This is Shipwreck Point at the bottom of 90 mile beach . . . there was an awesome swell that evening, but our camera isn't so good in the dark!

Very handy being able to park on the beach!
