Saturday morning, the swell dropped heaps from the day before, and the wind was supposed to pick up again. It was only the direction that wasn’t perfect for the usual spots around New Plymouth. But that’s why you are in Taranaki, an exposed 270 degree coastline that offers cross-offshore conditions in nearly any wind direction […]
Taranaki – like no other. So they say. And we can add ‘it never disappoints’. The first 2 days of our Surfari (Thursday and Friday), we had stunning sunny weather and excellent surfing conditions. No wind to speak of, which didn’t bother us too much as there is so much else to do in Taranaki: […]

Jill, Richard and David were so amped from our first trip and were straight into this one (pretty sure it was just the food). With Pete and […]
