Off shore shots taken on west coast close to Piha.
On shore shots are at Mangawhai

Both super good spots.

Hi Missile

What's the size and brand of your board? Any mods, or just standard?

Thanks, Jase

Re: Tripping NZ 5 months ago #28195

Missile,

where do you hail from? I'm arriving in NZ on the 9th, Looking for a roadtrip somewhere, want to head north... can you fill me in on 90 mile?

Also looking for local info/advice.

I use the same board I surf generally. Only difference is I use EPS blanks with strong Epoxy glassing.
In small conditions especially in the on shore it's fun to use a slightly wider board. My favourite is a very flat 5'4". Its kinda like a fish only difference is it's a thruster set up. Check picture below.

OH, yes. I use heavily glassed in fins..... Plugs and boxes suck!!!

EPS blank glassed heavily with Epoxy / eglass.

Shit.
Why did it post so many times?

Re: Tripping NZ 5 months ago #28212

Hey Missile man. Making a new post (especially with uploaded pictures) can take around 20 seconds, so just click 'submit' and wait for it to go through. This should prevent duplicate posts!

Wicked board though!
