for info this is the moutain:
And then a woman in a tiny red car stopped and asked me:"are you lost.??"
it was actually Amaya, she's originally from Bakio Basque Country, pretty close from where I live, and has been living there for 7 years.... She said: "you need to train! jump in the car!" Alright....
She took me to Back Beach in her shopping trolley, and we scored some really fun waves, rights and left and surfed until the sun came down... Taranaki is such a beautiful place, I am stoked to discover this place and get to compete here.... the contest starts on the 11th, stay tuned!
Just seen you on NZ TV. All the best to you for your competition and enjoy NZ...that's an awesome place!!!

Good Pictures, it's very sunny there, nothing compared to P.... (headtown of France). NZ is unique, because it's an Island, and so there is a flora and a fauna very different of us. (except the fact that there is 10 sheeps per men according to my old lessons).
I am thinking, if I make the macarena dance in France, do you will have good vibrations and good waves ? (I've try it one time to make the rain fall, but after this, people want me to see a doctor...) Or have "la Chabal attitude"...
Great post!
