Who said there are no waves on the east coast in summer?
Nice one Supmaori.
there were actually waves here today Casso

Left home probably 4.45 am ......definitely dark. Looked at Makorori Point. Big and ugly.
Went to town beach. Still dark. Towball and friends turned up.
Still dark but slightly not dark. But they insisted someone had to paddle out to see what was happening and that that person was me

So I did.
But think Supmaori would agree with me that you couldn't jump across the ditch from aussie at this time of year and be guaranteed surf.
Looking pretty good for the next 3 days though
