If you were able to believe in Santa Claus for, like eight years,
you can believe in yourself for, like five minutes.
Coming up
I am really looking forward to catching up with the guys from Breakers Restaurants and competing in Hawke’s Bay at the Backdoor Bay Bash in a week’s time. It was unfortunately postponed last month due to a lack of swell. Fingers crossed we’ll have some waves this time! I don’t find out which beach the comp is until the day. The two event locations are Te Awanga – which is a right hand point-break that can be really fun when there is swell – and Waimarama, a beach break over sand and rock. It
features a range of peaks which break out from the carpark and often result in good rights. North of the boat ramp, you will find a couple of reef breaks producing rights and good lefts..
Training
Lately I’ve been working on getting more vertical on the end section and I’m also still doing strength-and-conditioning training. I really enjoy trying new things to improve my sur ng. Taranaki has been producing some sick waves recently and I have been able to surf just about every day, which has been super fun!
