Since Labour Weekend Auckland's West Coast surfers have spent a lot of time standing on the sand dunes, scratching their bums and looking at onshore reform mush.

So last week so much anticipated change to offshores combined with a pulse in the swell had the Piha locals lining up for waves.

Now what we really need for Xmas is a few more banks at Piha to spread the load.
