Outside the Box

A Collection of photographs of  missions with the SAS crew in search of South Island swell. Coldwater waves, Misty mornings and No Crowds...Searching Outside the box!

Sometimes its a total mission just to get there...the best ones usually are though!

Its always worth the long dusty road to find lines at Magnet Bay, Banks Peninsula

Opito Bay Annual

Winter Weeks down at Opito Bay in the Coromandel Peninsula. This has become a common trip every year where me and the boys make the effort to catch up and head away from the City Lights, uni, job or wherever and spend some quality time in the beautiful Coro where we catch up on the happenings, go fishing and diving and spins some yarns over a few drinks....okay quite a few. This place is magic and has become a much anticipated trip every year...Same Place, Same Time boys?

Opito Bay!

Otama Beach on a stunning day! 

Good on ya mate!

The usual lunch after a mornings dive: Fresh Crayfish, Butterfish and Paua. Doesn't get fresher than this!  

Dinner Time Banter with Dboy and the Lads after an hearty meal an a few beers and whiskeys

Home away from Home

One of favourite spots to getaway from all the bullshit and just enjoy the sound of waves lapping up on the beach in the background. Not much is better than camping overnight on a beach, rising to the morning sun and at the end of the day siting on the sand whilst watching the flames and feeling the heat of a fire while the sun slowly drops over the western horizon.....a great time to spin some yarns, a few fishing stories, some laughter and smiles and a breath of fresh air reminding us how lucky we are!
