I just read Teds thread I wasn't feeling too bad till then every were I been has been dead flat infact the highlight of the trip has been finding the worlds best fish&chips at Manganui in the far north (if you want argue that one O B best you come and try them ) we sat and eat them with it pissing down out sit . apart from the beginning the hole trip has been like that . I went and had a look at the surfline factory was very imprest .Roger says he talks to Bob a bit they have a lot of similar ideas

Have headed south cause the weather is really going to pack a **** , so parked up beach front at the place I learned to surf 50odd years ago . Boy has it changed .
