There's not much happening on "the breeze" at present so here is a vid we took yesterday at our local. Not quite a dogman or byronmaui vid but it's short and here you go.

The sun was finally out again after two big snow falls that covered the whole city and we were blessed with a nice clean swell and gentle offshore breeze.

We were desperate to get out at our local break after months of travelling north to avoid the sewage polution that had closed beaches after Christchurch's devastating earthquakes. Not great footage or surfing caught on camera but we had a blast and it felt great to be back with the sun out and clean waves. Massive wave count but man my body is sore today - lost all my paddle fitness!

(The beaches are still closed but as I said we were desperate!) Hoping they will open in a few weeks before summer.

Shots of the snow!!

Nice.. .. Too cold for me but still nice.. They looked like great waves but I'm thinking ice-cream headache if you fall in..

Luved it. Though I experienced significant "shrinkage" just watching you fall in.

How're you liking the LSD?

Hey Th0m0, I do like the LSD its a great small board allrounder. Seems to suit most conditions I can throw at it. Perfect for a bit of fun on waves like in the vid. My eye has been wandering lately though and I'm coming over to Aussie in a few weeks to hopefully grab another new toy!

And yeah its unbearably cold without a hood gloves and booties! Icecream!!!

Hey Andrew ,
Thanks for the vid , I always used to wonder why gizzie had a hot water bottle with him , yesterday we went up the coast a bit , then I see him emptying the hoty in side his wet suit before we went out.
