FINALLY
SWELL AT RAGLAN
The point
breaks at Raglan copped its first decent swell in over a month this week
with solid 4-5ft waves on the points on Monday.
I
scored uncrowded Indies at 4-5ft, quite clean and solid on Monday avro
with only six other guys out. It wasn't classic Raglan but it still was
pretty damn good. Other boogers on it over the last few days have been
Hemi holden and Paul Meyer both ripping the bag at Manu Bay.
Over
the last few weeks Ruapuke has been the go with small and fun offshore
days and really wedgy banks.
DALE
"THE ROCK" SATTLER
Dale Sattler
has been an agro magnet as of late. On Saturday during a crap surf at Manu
Bay he narrowly avoided the smack down from one of Raglans local resident
psycho surfers known as Carcass ( a pretty dodgy nickname). Legend
has it that Carcass was having a kook of a surf and was getting emmensely
pissed off, so looking for somewhere to release his built up anger spotted
Dale nearby in the line-up. Out of nowhere he starts screaming at Dale
and telling him to "f@%k off and stop paddling around everywhere". Typically
Dale, trying to avoid any form of trouble just laughed loudly at him and
replied "whatever, kook". To Dales suprise this did not calm the surfer
down and just angered him more, more abuse followed and Dale in true form
just egged the surfer on more. It looked to everyone that it would
soon be all over for Dale as fisticuffs were inevitable. As the surfer
wound back his arm to give Dale a bit of hows your father, Dale like a
true man stated in calm and controled voice "if you hit me I'll report
you straight to the police and sue your ass",the surfer suddenly stopped,
looking very confused swore some more splashed water in his face
and paddled off.

TRIPPERS
John Diamond
has returned from a three week stint in Indo where he scored sick waves
with fellow Kiwi John Blackwood. During his stay it never got smaller than
3ft and was offshore everyday. The highlights of his trip was scoring perfect
10ft uncrowded scar reef and his new vampire eyes look.
While
South Islander Hayden Parsons is on a mission to Fiji during intense political
instability (crazy f%@k) to score some epic waves and to avoid being killed
and scored some large quality swells.
Desperations
was fun everyday at 2-6ft. Wilkes Pass was also epic with one day peaking
at 8ft+ and perfect offshore waves. (Photos soon)
He
was about to surf Cloudbreak at 4ft and pumping but were stopped by some
dickhead Tavarua bouncers who said only their customers could only go out.
(this was after telling us it was OK to go out).
Back
in Dunnos the east swell has stuck around for ages with Blackhead and all
of the North beaches being super fun.
HUGE
EAST COAST SWELLS
For the
past 26 days the East coast has been rocked by solid swells barely getting
below 4-5ft and getting up to a solid 8ft plus on certain days. While
the majority of breaks have not able to handle such size shelterd spots
small wave spots have been going off. However conditions would have bee
much better with an offshore. Bodyboarders like Dave "Goose" Campbell,
Hemi Holden, Cameron Hirst, John Diamond and Joey Carrol have been
scoring some solid waves all over the place. Over the last three weeks
I've had some good waves at Whangamata bar, Langs Beach, Pataua and Ocean
Beach on the smaller days.
While
on the West coast it has been offshore for 26 days and with a decent size
swell almost everyday. Dale Sattler reports some fun days been had at Ruapuke
and Simon Thompson has been getting some good waves at Port Waikato with
Tim Dwen.
