Heading back to NZ for February to 1week of March

[Fanman]

If any locals want to surf, surfsup let me know?
Going to be in Gizzy, Whangamata, Hawkes Bay, Manguwai, and Ahipara, with stops along the way. Repeat from last year with a few modifications.

Decent surf and crowds in NZ! SupSurfing is definatley more popular now and people are asking a lot of equipment questions too!

A few photos for ya!

Nice..
Got a few old buds that do the Raglan bar.

Would love to do a trip back from Australia and do a stint around some of the paths we used to do when we where surfing..

Looking forward to it..

DG,
We went to Raglan last year, but it was a zoo, so stearing away this year from RG.

DJ,
Where are you heading?

I'm going from Gizbourne to Mangawhai Heads tomorrow!

DJ,
I just passsed through there today OTW to Northland. Look up Rory Dawson on Instagram. I surfed with him a few weeks back at the Mt. he's a cool guy and will show you around the surf. Tell him Brett Fanning said to look him up! He's riding a 7'10" Deep Ocean Minion!
Good luck!

Sorry Fanman, I just saw this thread.
I was at Pabst's house yesterday and he told me you were in NZ.
Nice Pics!

I have friends near Hastings and the Mount, but you have passed them already.

What a great place.... I circled the North Island for a month and got great surf everywhere I went.... even OH Ragland with just my buddy 

Have a blast!

Thx Creek,
Bummer would have liked to surf with your buddies too! I saw a guy on a Sunova Speed in Gizzy! Lots of Suppers here now, pretty cool. Not to bad on the vibes, but Raglan, they Rag, lol!
Mangawhai was nice, just got to Ahipara today! 🤙🏼
