Stop going to Bali and go here, your surfing ability will thank you for it, bodyboard to longboard its all here. This site could do with better South Island coverage IMHO, sort it out Admin!tongue

East coast south island comments coming up! Three weeks research project begins 02/02/2010!I hope and believe it will be more successful than Scotland and the European tidal bores.big_smile

Happy old fart!

Ya, good time to go as well, water still a bit warm

Fire...Scourge of Promethius

Well the research project is over now, two speed east coast on south island review.two speeds only when I was there at Mangamaunu, flat and flat out Hawaiian style.First four days a maxing east swell with howling winds mega big and messy and couldn't and didn't wish to try and beat the shorebreak to get out. See photos posted on the Graveyards and Mangamaunu surf spots. Last day of five a small enough day to surf Manga's still ordinary but it did show its potential.To Kai the Koura go to Nin's bin a caravan about 10 minutes up the coast fresh cooked lobsters take your own freshly baked bread from Kaikoura and a bottle of your drink sit on the beach and tuck in. Romantically recommended.

Recommend Surfwatch B&B overlooking Mangamaunu, it's not cheap but we had new Bamboo House 2 x queen or King beds and a loft to stash the kids. full facilities not cheap $250 per night but a great standard and well worth the price. Hosts Lynn and David treat you well. You may get a surf with David, his work permitting. rest of trip grade 5 white water rafting, glacial lake kayaking, all the fun things of the south island. Hey english is spoken the jokes are understood no hustle on the streets and a nice slow pace.

Happy old fart!

Nice Jaff, welcome back mate
