The Heads is fully sick and one of the best waves in the region. Unfortunately it has such a big reputation so it gets very crowded. People from Auckland, Raglan and Gizzy would go over to surf it.
There are a lot of really choice beachies between Maketu and Whakatane.
Best thing is, it's hardly ever crowded. BC and I know of another break that is similar to the Heads but never crowded.
I miss home! I'll be back one day BC - next year or the year after.

Yeah used to be supurb
I've only seen Whaka heads once and it was 2002. It wasn't as good as above but same shape - just like the right off sumner bar when its working too. I surfed a beach over the hill from there - it was average enough but a nice beach, don't remember the name tho.
Sat - sumner 2ft fun on the fish but fat as.
Today - Taylors 2ft+ clean and glassy but outgoing tide started to suck the grunt out of it. I was 20 mins trying to get a wave in. Bent.

West coast more power? Or just more consistent and bigger than east coast.
quiet you fool you will get roy all excited about according to physics its impossible for a wave to be more powerful
--------------------------------
Chairman of the sub 1000
East vs West. I rekon they are different! To me west coast waves seem thicker(more water) where on the east coast the water movement seems more concentrated. The ramblings of a fool mayby but those are my 2 cents
thought so, just hype compensating it.
you go out tubenet? was pretty fun smaller than i thought tho but the odd good one

Definitely more power. Kinda like the big east swells or cyclone swells that we get back home. Good thing about Maori Bay is it breaks up the swell, because of the island offshore, so usually the waves aren't too walled up.

Yep Maori Bay this morning. 3-4ft with bigger sets - a real good size for me. I stayed away from the crowd (which were pretty bad for a weekday!) and got a few goodies. Unfortunately the banks aren't as good as they were before all these big winter swells come in. May was the bestest ever at both low and high tide. Now it's a bit of a mess.

Brotha from anotha mutha
sat was 4ft with the occasional bigger west coast boomer, plenty of crew on it but no banks so it was a case of chasing the peak, got a few so not as maddening as it could have been, but a long time between drinks.. rode the flame with the mid sized trailer fin, more stable in the bigger stuff than the 1/4 fin but a bit stiff, that board likes the 1/4. an iffy surf considering the primo conditions
