Happy Easter (or happy chocolate eating)

Happy Easter

Good Friday tomorrow (if you’re into that whole thing) and have just had the weekend surf report emailed – looks like a nice one ahead.

I have this mindset that I only surf in New Zealand from Labour Weekend (end of October) to Easter (April) as that’s when the water is at its warmest. I’m too old and my knees are too buggered to surf cold water and to be honest, I’d rather be doing something else like planning a surf trip somewhere HOT!!!!!!

Looking forward to the weekend and spending some time in the garden, got an email from the tri club and they are getting a few people together to go and have a swim in a “gated community” just out of town, they have their own fresh water lake and are keen on getting some exposure in the local area. The idea is to get a few “athletes” (I say that tongue in cheek as it’s me I’m talking about) all with the sponsors gear (2XU wetsuits) and get a series of photos done for promotional purposes.

Sounds cool and looking forward to it. ( never had photos of me taken for promo purposes?? )

Plan to get wet in the morning – will update you on how the weekend goes. Later.

Surf Report:

North East Coast:

Cracker of a weekend ahead with a relentless little East swell that should hang around the 1-2ft mark on good Friday with another glassy day in store, light offshore winds in the morning clocking light NE in the arvo. Saturday brings similar conditions as Friday with the swell hanging in there and the light winds buffing out the beach with boardies and bikinis galore! Bit of a change on Sunday with a slightly smaller East swell and fresh SW winds that will clock SE around lunch to mess things up. Small rising South swell of around 1-2ft on the exposed coast with the weak front. Great weekend to hang out at the beach, bring ya sunblock and fish! Yearrrhhhh!!!!
