We eventually find a way down further down the coast. Once we get to the beach we realize it's a lot more serious than it looked. All rocks with no obvious entry or exit spot. The waves are 6 ft plus with a 4 ft shorebreak straight onto the rocks.
Hmmm! Eventually we make a break for it and make it out relatively unscathed.
About this point the wind just jumped to full Gale making it almost impossable to paddle into the heaving righthander that was barreling off. Suddenly it was very intimidating. My mate who loves heavy surf turns to me and says "I think it is unsurfable we best get out of here"
He turns and takes off and airdrops a solid one and screams off down the line leaving me to fend for myself. After a few solid sets on the head I realise I'm not even sure how I'm going to get back in. Eventually I paddle further up the point and have to take off on a closeout and hope for the best on the rocks.
Make it in eventually, pretty relieved. Can't find my mate for about quarter of an hour as he has had to find his own way in further down the coast. He was starting to think I had been blown out to sea.
Had to the walk the 4 km back to the car as by now the wind was screaming making it almost impossable to hold your board let alone ride a bike at the same time.
One of the most unsatisfying surfs I've had for a long time but a good adventure for sure!
Full adrenaline rush and saw some amazing waves just didn't get to surf them.
This was on the day everyone got trapped up Mt Hutt just to give you some idea of the wind!
That's a great story. Any clues as to where you were?
Ha ha ha Spud I thought you would be the one who would be interested to know where it was.
Although I think this break can take care of itself I'm not saying, except it wasn't around your way.
It was within a few hours drive of you though.

Sweet as. I love surf trips like that. So much better than surfing the same old boring waves all the time.

hard to say, it was death yesterday day, huge water moving with three metre swells. I saw a pic of the heads before 2004 and fark...it was sweet, I wanna post it but it is not my pic. It used to be sooo good 2002 was the best year I had it. barrels for 200 metres that I just took for granted back when I think about it.
2ft fuk all snapper...sic left bc your one luckey dog ,now go chew a bone
--------------------------------
..
tell you what fellas, it was pretty hard work at my spot, lots of them were too fast and short lulls which resulted in smashings. Survival mode some fo the time and no b@stard is ever out there so ya mind drifts off...
yeah, it looks hard work eh bc, but if u get a gd one i beat its fully worth it. not many surfers in your hood?

yeah, they are okay Snap. would have been epic at a coupla other spots, but these were handy.
i know how bc feels, i've had to share 30k's of peaks with atleast 3 other guys in the last few days...the shadows passing under seem bigger for some reason.

There are, I see them driving to ohope from clands when im heading to clands, but i don't blame them, it is hard to know when it gets good and the paddle is full on with drift and no one around. I saw one dude go out and he got freaked out I think and went in pretty fast. Looks nice from the beach, diff story when your out there. Ohope is where everyone goes and suited to surfing more and no drift. There are a few dudes that charge clands when its big though.
the heads look sick, i saw a vid on youtube that made me think whakatane has some sweet setups
