Gisbane

One of the first things we did while in New Zealand was take the 5 hour drive to Gisbane from Mt. Maunganui and went camping for a few days. After getting lost on the way there, we arrived at the spot which was absolutely stunning. We camped out at a white sand beach bookmarked at each end by 2 mountains. The beach was also tucked away in some remote bay that only a local would be able to find, making it pretty remote. If this spot was in the US there would have been thousands of people. Since we were in New Zealand, there were only about 15 groups of campers.

Jazz The Glass Premiere Party

Tonight I saw the most awesome surf movie of all time... JAZZ THE GLASS. It's the story of some Surf Pirates and their quest to mine the Stoke, rid the world of Kooks, keep their surf spots secret, make as many ridiculous booze and grogan references as possible, all while shredding the waves and Jazzing The Glass. A buddy of mine, Mike "Kobok" Black was one of the geniuses behind the film, and lucky for me I got invited to the premiere party.
