New Zealand

South Island New Zealand - From the golden sands of Able Tasman national park in the North, to the antarctic waters in the far south, South Island has a vast surfable coastline. Here the West / East Coast divide is more noticable than for North Island, with the West Coast deserving its wild and dangerous reputation. All of South Island can be characterised by cold water, so bring some neoprene.

If you like surfing with crowds come with some mates - as you'll find plenty of empty spots in South Island. If you come visiting, respect the locals, and you'll find great people to surf with - you might even get shown some of their un-published spots. New Zealand has a small population, (if you exclude the several million working as bar staff in London), and about one-in-three of those who actually live in NZ are Jaffas (nice people who come from Aukland..).... so get out and enjoy the surf.

If you go in winter and the water is too cold, try the great snow-boarding!

De kalaukoa , 29-04-2009

Coming in August 2009 - Aloha, I am from Hawaii and will be on Te Waipounamu (south island)from 08.19.08 - 09.05.09. The surf looks unreal, and I was wondering if there are any local shops that do rentals? I am going to be there on my honeymoon, and bringing my snowboard, so there is a lot of stuff to pack. Does it get good in the winter? If anyone could let me know, or if anyone wants to go surfing while I am there, I would totally be stoked, and retutn the aloha if anyone ever came to Hawaii.
