Paddle-boarding and surfing at Whakatane Beach




Two of my favourite images from our recently trip to Whakatane, the top one of two surfers walking across the semi-low tide at the beach and the one below of a paddle boarder heading to shore remind me of what warm weather is all about - golden sand, cool water, stunning scenery make it all worthwhile being a New Zealander - love it!

Great beach scenes. I learnt to love the beach when I was growing up in NZ - and its even better here in Aus - much warmer!!

I love these especially the knowledge that your weather is getting warmer while ours is getting cooler.

I'm watching snow fall outside my window...glad I have a warm place to go to see summer beauty. I think I'll pass on paddle boarding, but give me a kayak any day!

so nice to see. We have a long coastline in Sweden but hardly any beaches like this at all. :(

  This has been one of the early buildings in Westport from the 1870s that is still being used for the local newspaper, so much old Victoria...
