Great pics - and a great part of the world. Reminds me of one of the warmer days when we were over for the cold water classic a hundred years ago. Longboard nirvana

cheers

You must be due for another trip, That invite is still here gezz i cant believe you were only 400 metres down the road from me.
Hey BP, I have trouble remembering what I did yesterday let alone 12 months ago, what was the offer again. Free use of the new stick
Sure, No worries
Just about to load todays pics, Went for a surf with standupper and i went ok
Managed to paddle straight out ok, Ballance was fine but turning was ****.
I did catch 3 waves while standing, The rest i was on my knees and then stood up.
I was tired after a hour and was shaking in my legs so i guess i might of over done it on the 5k paddle.
I guess i have 0 paddle fitness this may be the problem.
Here is some of today photos
Nice shots of the Pier 
I'm going to be back in Chch in August - not sure if I'll be sticking my toes in the water though. Might be keen on some Kaikoura action if the sun comes out
Lovin it more each time, Even though my body is saying what the heck 
I need to find a sweet spot on the naish, I tend to get on the tail as i would with a longboard, More hours should take care of this i think
Also i think if the board had more of a flat section through the middle this would take care of the wobble from side shop.
Then again, More hours on the board
Yea, that pub was great as a young fella i often camped there after surfing and then went out in the morning, Had to catch the bus with my board to sumner and got to become good friends with the owner so camped there when i wanted to.
And always good for a sat night trying to pick up the wahine
