The surfers had just packed up and left. The only remains of their stay were the embers of the fire reflected upon the driftwood.

Surfing Ngawi*
9 June 2014
* sung to the beach boys song “Surfing USA”
Some how that doesn’t work. Apart from having a syllable less (pronounced “Nar we”) it was cold with no sandy beach, no bikinis, no tanned muscular bodies, no Pamela or David, no Sun, and little waves. But there are seals- how many seals do you see in Baywatch?
I admire these guys surfing all day and into the night with such inclement weather. Dedication and passion following the wave. They all are the “salt of the earth” I say.
Low carbon footprint as well. Compare this to skiers with all the demands of a ski field, fancy 4 wheeled vehicles, fancy gear and skis, and of course ‘”apres ski”. The creature comforts for these guys is a warm fire on the beach with home made sandwiches.
Ngawi is a small fishing village at the bottom of the North Island. Its about a 2 hour drive from Wellington. Brent knows the area well and often goes there for photography. I decided to accompany him on Queens Birthday as I haven’t been there before. Its also great to have him driving then I can concentrate on spotting the potential targets for our cameras. It was a great day and thankyou Brent for taking the time to show me the wild Wairapa coastline.
