Is actually considered a little more polite to paddle away to another break occasionally so the shortboarders & kneeboarders can catch a wave without a sup person catching it 100 feet away before it even gets to them

Thought you were getting away from the 'crowd'. ...at least 6 of you out there.[:)
Nicer pics with a little foliage to frame them.

Very true Aquarian....thought the greenery on each side of the pic compensated visually for the "crap surf"
....thanks for taking the time to take the pics also....much appreciated

Yeah Gizzie I wondered what those black things were that you wear.
I reckon I could get used to them if there were regular good uncrowded waves.
I don't own a wetsuit over a short john.

Right next to meatworks......it is maungamanu (the spelling) i think....but so many people spell it wrong its easy to get confused. (and i could be wrong too).
You turn off the main road on the way to meatworks & maungamanu break starts after you cross the railway line & hit the beach....meatworks a few hundred yards further along the gravel road
Lots of paua yum yum (abalones to you foreigners?)

Brother I am no foreigner, NZ born and bred, only been on these shores 2.5 years.
I have flown over meat works when its been firing and watched the surfers, never had the pleasure tho, only SE WN, NP, Gizzy, Some of the E coast :)

Was even put up in Gizzy once by one of the local surfers after getting stuck at Red Bus, Truly amazing dude, opened his house to me and 3 of my friends a few years back.

Kewl.....have surfed meatworks a few times....seem to remember can be hard to get out of the water (shorebreak/rocks). But at least once when was breaking further out & in a tidier manner.
Used to be wasteland near the river where you could squat/camp
Don't know if gate still unlocked. But a respectable bed/breakfast place right across the road from meatworks.
Nice to know your visit to giz was good
