I realized this when a wave swung towards me. I broke a board there in an attempt to make one.
If you make one through it is pretty sick. It is also really shallow and when you fuck up you get tossed into the rocks and then left in shallow water with no channel. I was sitting in the line up and before I realized it I had drifted on to the Ledge (the Ledge is this heav圓0 to 50 yard section at the very top of Manu that is most times unmakeable except on the best of days. The afternoon session I paddled out to a light crowd with some devil winds back at Manu. We got out as it was really getting swamped with heads and the tide. I got my share thanks to my time in California. It was good but inconsistent and overly crowded with Easter.
#SOLSCAPE TARANAKI NEW ZEALAND FULL#
Saturday morning the tide was a bit full so Sarah and I surfed Manu. Friday morning the swell had just started showing and that evening I surfed some fun Indies. Thursday the swell was still down so I got back into the swing of things at Solscape. I raced down to rags that night on a mission. I called Sarah up and got myself a spot back at Solscape despite the busy Easter weekend. The swell was actually looking really good for Raglan. The East coast, out of the question for a storm was lashing it like Kunta Kinte. Staying around was going to be a exercise in surfing closed out beachies. What was I to do? The sun had set, and there was no way I was finding the way back out to Piha and the Backpackers out there in the dark. It wasn’t too bad, the swell was going to be too big up there anyway. “Sorry mate, I asked my girl if you could stay and she was not having it. I met up with a friend of a friend in Auckland for a beer and with any luck a place to stay for the night. Last you heard from me I was just out of Piha and unsure of where I was going to go. The contrast in swell between my first few weeks and my last few couldn’t be greater. I am for the first time in 6 months sitting in my parents Maryland house. Here is kooky’s take on his last days in New Zealand. I think the kid came a long way in the last six months and hopefully will take his experiences, life lessons and other things from this past tenure and use it to enhance his regular life. His adventures abroad have finally come to an end. First in Lisanti Land and then New Zealand. For the longest time I believed Kooky Kyle was a member of the drones and then he broke out of his shell and was awakened in his recent traveling adventures. Then there are the drones who sit in their happy little safety blanket they have created around themselves living half asleep and vicariously through the first group. Well folks there are two types of people out there in this world: Those who go out and live life to its fullest potential despite their own personal fears, discretion, insecurities and the abrogating of popular beliefs.
