Ross reports in from NZ ..."Great to see the waves living up to their rep at the moment. I just found this pic of Daniel Kereopa surfing a monster at Papatowai (deep south NZ) last June. He won $5,000 for the Biggest Paddle In at the Oakley/ASL Awards (the comp Lewy’s link alluded to). Like Tobes, Kereopa is a champ on both the shortboard and Mal and, by the look of the pic, was seriously hard-up for cash! "
No trip to the east coast for some travellers today: surf small and traffic big. Might have a look again tomorrow...there's supposed to be a bit of a swell spike
