ANZAC 25th April 2012
New Zealand is a small place but has plenty of surfing options. Been here for 4 days now and we’ve found waves every day. Have to admit, we’ve got a good surf guide, Maz Quinn (Jay’s brother), who is the only surfer in NZ to make it on the world championship tour a while back. Last night we crossed the country (only takes 2 hours) and rolled in Tairua, which in stark contrast to the west coast has white sandy beaches and plenty of pumping little beach breaks. You’d get lonely being a surfer here. So many beaches don’t get surfed or even have names. A lot of breaks have no road access, and boat, ski or heli the only option!
Heading back West now, chasing a swell.
Lest We Forget.

Luca said |
Had no idea there were such good waves in NZ
Great shots uge… i am considering NZ for my next surf trip…
Peace said |
Thanks for all those wonderful pics from NZ. Although I am not a surfer, (just a swimmer and faithful follower of your postings.)
How warm is the water there at the moment?
I must encourage my husband to spent a holiday in this beautiful part of the world.
Enjoy your time.
Cheers.

water temp dropping in NZ – expect 18 around North east coasts, maybe 17 on the west coast.

Lake sunset… the world is a beautiful place!
Ex-NZer said |
Hey Uge, Are you heading down Taranaki way at all? Would love to see pics of my old home.
Andy said |
Great shots Uge…and your in for more good swell on both coasts over the week ahead. Ratso was the other World Tour competitor who recently won the kiwis first ASP Champion award in the Grand Master category. While your treaking around try get up to mud bay and forrestery. Enjoy.

Love the NZ Pics! keep em coming Uge!!
Clover said |
I’ve always thought New Zealand was beautiful – but these photo’s over the past few days give beautiful a whole new meaning. Love the cross section of land and sea, fence posts and shacks and what a perfect ride to see NZ.
leroy brown said |
did you go to hot water beach?
Jim said |
Great to see the waves and sunshine turned on while you’re over here. You’ve had a blinder. Actually its always this good, honest.
The Coromandel said |
Thanks a bunch for sharing the love Uge, was great seeing you in ‘The Coromandel’
Hopefully we’ll see a few more of your countrymen follow suit in the near future. Just over an hour from the Intnl Airport is the region that is ‘good for your soul’ http://www.thecoromandel.com
Viv said |
Beautiful pic’s of my home town, saw you guys out & about, haha small town, get up to Shippies for Sun/Mon gonna be pumping!
Craig said |
I took a drive down the Surf Highway in December…totally flat but hear the waves are empty and perfect usually.
Lake Sunset is brilliant Uge
billy said |
too much love! where are all the “piss off back to bondi” comments and “locals only”, kiwi boys are getting soft, too much metro influence from the eastern suburbs crew
Uge said |
Na Billy, the crew here are very welcoming actually (extremely in fact). I haven’t seen another camera on any of the 5 beaches I’ve been and the surfers all come up saying G’day…very laid back people (and clever obviously).
So I guess no knuckle-draggers over here…
The Coromandel said |
Relax Billy, you know Tangaroa keeps on giving and there will always be another swell…
billy said |
yeh but next swell might have heaps of sydney clowns riding stubby quad fins and talking about the latest Kai Neville flick all over it
Pauline of Chartre` Manor B&B said |
Great to have you guys visit one of the best regions in New Zealand. Don’t forget to take time to have a good look too. Life is not only about the surf. Thames is a fascinating town with plenty of history. New Zealand basicly started in Thames. Weather is always great here. Happy holidaying. http://www.chartremanor.co.nz
Steve said |
Love the pics of the Coromandel, you drove past the best beach tho!!!! WAIHI BEACH Next time eh !!!
Steph, The Pepe Tairua said |
Beautiful pics of our wee part of the planet, Tairua. The surfing locals and the staff @ The Pepe, Licensed Cafe & Restaurant sure enjoyed having you in town. Catch you next time!
Rhodesy said |
Uge,
Some great shots there bro eh!? Just got back from a couple of weeks in the Sth Is. If you think the Nth is scenic, wait till you see the Sth. You’ll certainly need that new rubber but great place & sinsational people.
