Yes - can think of worse places than waking up there with a Cappucci & crumpet or having a few beers in the evening looking at that mate.
Sorry mate wish I had a gopro that works cause paddling into a wave and seeing that mountian saw unreal , try and get a surf here this morning and spend the night in Taupo heading home 
morning all
Morning pup
Sounds like a fun road trip......also sounds like you should stay awol for the rest of the weekend
"It's Friday and it's time to SURF! If you know ya country you will be getting deep inside the pit at a number of our premium breaks with the west coast boasting the pick of the bunch as solid 4-5ft ground swells from the WSW back each other up and non stop offshore winds from the E-NE keep it mean and clean for the next week! Watch for the peak of the bunch as a solid 8ft+ of 18sec period WSW swell heads up the country with perfect offshore winds on Sunday! The south coasts of the country also have some sick conditions"
Morning all a fresh strong wind outside not sure how the surf is going to be,still dark outside
Bit slack to day , we headed south from New Plymouth swell had droped a bit surfed a place called Sky Willams which was enjoyable . If you go to Taranaki local knowledge is a big help a lot of places you have to drive across farm land (not for the fainthearted if your driving a motorhome ) there is breaks every were in someways reminded me of Hawai guys siting in spots here and there .
So we drove from NewPlymouth north then inland heading for home got to Taupo 8pm ,parked up at Taupo airport for the night and headed of at 6am hoping to get a surf at Mahia , the last photo say's it all the guy on the wave is called Mahia Max maybe Ted knows him 
We decided not to join him and head for home 40mins up the road . Sorry about the pics sent Mark off with the camera while I was loading Boards not that I could do better . As a matter of fact we sent Mark out first to warm the locals up at every break avery frendly bloke worked atreat
Who the faaak is alby mangles
Thanks prez but I think The Last of The Summer Wine is Closer
