Kahutara at 6-8 breaking southside would be the hardest i've paddled out at.....and some place over on the sw coast that looked so easy and i ended up 5km up the road and never even got out the back

There is a spot round Eastbourne way called "Pipes". It was named this because there used to be a large stockpile of concrete pipes directly in front of the wave.

Port Reef is a piece of p!ss, paddle out behind the point, easy enough to get out with your hair dry. Brighton has to be one of the hardest, or Magnet when it's big and dredging up the point. Muriwai has it's moments when it can be frustrating.

Cheltenham beach Auckland, All th bikinis usually on the beach, no waves, very difficult to get into. Then the waters so very warm even in August, that you dont want to get out.

I always thought it was something to do with refuge pipes being discharged into the harbor there? Guess i was wrong, It does have pretty questionable water quality though.

getting in and out of Kahutara at over 5-6ft is utter entertainment. Time it right and its sweet both ways. Time it wrong and getting out the back leaves you getting pounded to bits and hundreds of metres north, getting out of the water at the wrong spot leaves you in the "washing machine" and then negotiating a nice 8ft shorebreak.
hahaha yep been there done that lol middle of winter 2005

Nothing wrong with the water there these days my friend. Used to be a bit sketchy back in the day but they've built the primo plant now.

I worked on the plant about nine years ago. At 9:30am every day the nearby Griffins factory would start baking... yum... then at 9:50am the miliscreening plant would crank up. It was the rankest smell. What a lashing just before smoko.

Im not sure bout you fullahs, but I give spots my own names, that way when I speak of them only my friends know where im talking bout. Hardest spot for me was double overhead blackies, when you see the set hit the exposed rock outside the takeoff, then dive deep and hang on to some seaweed.
but I give spots my own names
haha I've done that.
China Walls (a section at Te-Awanga that only breaks after a flood) and a little right hander next to the main Blacks Reef peak we once dubbed Jim Reeves. Rank names I know but at least no one knew what or where we were talking about

Two kook waves for one minter is well worth it. In fact, it's the story of my life really.
Except in winter - I don't fall off in winter, it's just too cold to get wet.
haha Beano corner. What a legacy!
Headin up north this evening to get some some of it - you about DB?. Gore Bay was overhead and a half A frames at dawn on monday. More of that please.

I seen a guy get flogged 3 times in a row trying to jump in at Whale Bay. Poor dude.
--------------------------------
Jokesville.
probs me
a six foot day i farked it up and got served by a bouncer called rocky and his gang rolled me, hyperventilated and cut i ran away from those corpses..but they were waiting for me when I came in and twisted my ankle. greasy b@stards
Patea North Side!!! Has some deadly box thorn to negotiate.
Whale Bay getting in on a solid swell. Nice feet cuts ?
--------------------------------
Have you checked the other side ?
ojung bocur in sumatra was a little bit of a tricky one to get out as. wait for a lull and run along a flat coral finger without tripping over or getting smoked by a wave.
Pascuales in mexico was a ***** getting out as it breaks super close to shore and heavy as hell.
One of my favourite waves here on St maarten has an entry/exit point covered in sea urchins. been lucky enough to avoid them so far but its not a matter of if more a matter of when you are going to get stung.
Big shippies at the end of mukies is a pain if you miss the beach you end up way down by irongates with a monster walk back.

Was at Castlepoint last week. Nice waves, saw a guy get absoulutly fkd by a seal. His Board was chewed into several pieces, couple of bites to his right arm. He told me that he got bit trying to detach his leash. Poor guy was in the rip by rocks, and had to swim out before he could come in. Anyone have any theroies why a seal hit him up so hard?

Yes it was massive and out of control, breaking wide and with a strong sweep. No one was out but while we w werechecking it a boogie boarder jumped in he was a regular from tauranga a Finn class national champ if I remember correctly, he used to sail at TYPBC ( Oldschool might remember his name ) anyway he got swept straight down to boneyards and got trapped inside, died of a heart attack.
We had quite a few people come up to the house with bad cuts and/or feet full of kina spines but I didn't hve any problems myself.

Rule #1) Do Not get between a seal or Sealion and the Sea !
No other rules

Better to sleep in an uncomfortable bed free, than a comfortable bed unfree.
and he died of a heart attack not being swept from the rocks?
i very rarely jump from the front... i like watching the 'walk of shame' tho from those that walk up to the jump spot then back track..

I had paddled out through there three times that day. As did others, so maybe seal was getting pis sed at all the traffic. Its an easy paddle, sweeps you straight to the peak. Have seen seals, small sharks, Orca, and assorted fish in the channel formed by rip. It could be pups, but wrong time of year. Mating season has finished this year I believe. Toasted, if that fullah is a mate of yours, maybe he could rally DOC to help bitten fullah get his own back? Was a new board, he was guttered.
Orca wasnt in that close, but close enough to get a great look.
