what a month (or so)

What a crazy time we have had in the North, Cyclone Gabrielle moved down the North Island creating hazoc, lots of damage out on the East Coast of Northland, beach access and sanddunes wiped out. Before TC Gabrielle hit the Ruakaka Surf Day 2023 was on at Ruakaka Beach, what a fantastic event for all those involved, people with disabilities learning to surf with the help of volunteers. Around all this action there has been a few nice days with waist high peelers, above Innes and an unkown surfer make the most of it, cheers Mike C.

Meet this fulla on the track at Ruakaka last week, I shot him riding this board about a year ago (bottom photo), this is a homemade board with heaps of volume, very drawn in with three very thinly foiled fins, one very interesting board, he wanted to remain nameless but was more than happy to chat and let me get shots of his board, nice guy, Mike C.

Should be a bit of surf this week on the East Coast, get amongst it, Mike C.
