Hey-OOOOOO Christchurchians!!!
SNAP - its for that reason alone that we can get sometimes get some pretty good waves without crowds. People just look at the internet and base everything on that rather than actually get to know the breaks.

We have some bars around here that are to waves what the push-up is to bras, if you know where to look.
This wee wave would not have been knee high as swell when I first stroked for it. 3ft it ain't, but bibbity bobbity boo, a bit of magic bank, and it's fun.
pushing 3ft here
Looks good BP. Did you snap that?

apparently the left on the other side at M bay breaks good occasionally. he said he'd surfed it alone quite a few times. Ive seen potential but never quite surfable

Won't have any problem amping me for a mish either - I'm frothy frothington. The trouble for me is finding time with young family.
on the rare occasions swell,tide and wind combine i always amp up

Yeah we'd watched it a few times

nah not me. I took a few shots before getting in.
Thats quite a big wave ds, what was Kahutara

That is Kahutara, Jelly. Dumbbell wouldn't have gone.

there is a good spot to wash your pots and pans just to your left from there if your camping.
There was a booger knocked out in the shorebreak - had to be rescued apparently, i heard that from 2 different people. As per DB, getting in is aok, you need to plan your exit though as theres a wee nasty place to end up.
That wave was average enough jelly,
Have a look at shot of the day on May 5th for a set wave.

cripes I hate those sorta waves, because the paddle outweighs the ride. Just going out when its big and not too good is good exercise, that's it.
southern juice bc,good timeing and your out you would rate this.
