Northland Kneeboarder

Local Tutukaka lad Phil Stubbs is one keen Kneeboarder, he is out in the surf every chance he can be to get ready for The Opunake Kneeboard Surfing Classic on Saturday the 23rd of November, the penultimate NZ Kneeboarding event before the 2020 Worlds, Phil is super keen to keep Kneeboard surfing and it's culture alive and well in Northland, great guy to talk to and super passionate about his sport, Mike C.

wonder woman

This lady right here is a freakin' Gem, not only does she surf, make paipos and surfboards but she has now smashed out a wooden chambered Quad Kneeboard for her Dad, well done Lee, huge supporter of TCFF and a huge help on the day!, Mike C.

a good start

Robbie in action at Sandy Bay yesterday, nice way to start the week with the small clean swell on the East Coast of Northland NZ, still a small log wave today, skip work and get out there, Mike C.

a few more

Just a few more images from this year's TCFF 2107, thanks to all who braved the terrible weather in the morning and were rewarded with a fantastic afternoon of sun and surf, Cheers Mike C.

ride anything

Robbo found himself an Ashley Kneeboard and with a few modifications with the help of Mike Koosman from Tutukaka he now has a small wave destroyer. the original Steve Lis Fish was a kneeboard and changed the face of surfing for ever, nice work Robbo and it was nice to see Taj patiently waiting for his master to return from the sea, Mike C.

KNEES UP

 

So good to see Robbo back in the water after a very scary skateboarding accident, Robbo hails from Tutukaka Coast and rides most types of surfcraft but these shots are of him on his all time favourite, a converted Kneeboard, just ripping, Mike C.

bring on 2017

With the success of TCFF 2016 still buzzing I have booked in next year's event already, the second Sunday of March 2017, so book the date now, get ya surf pass from the Wife, it's on!, Mike C.

autumn action

What a great time of year to be at the beach in the evenings, we are having a fantastic spell of swell and weather on the East Coast of Northland NZ, a great time of year for TCFF 2016, this Sunday, 13th of March at Waipu Cove, Mike C.
