If the weather's good I might be doing SH22 on Saturday. You're welcome to come along. It'll be a nice, slow, relaxed ride, as is my wont.Originally Posted by surfchick

surfing & u-turns
my surfing is a damn site better than my biking- but i have to say learning to ride a bike is quicker- remember those first few years of duckdiving?? but so far no wave has ever done a uturn in front of me in a concrete motorway off ramp tunnel under symonds st like mr. indian taxi-driver did on tuesday...

Yea, I reckon! It's a crazy world out there on AKL roads for bikers. Where do you mostly go to catch a wave?

favorite near-by spot is rimmer's road when it's on. i have a 4x4 for other car so i can have it ALL to meself. otherwise piha/kare kare or maori bay. I prefer coromandel the rest of the time if the east coast is on- HOW WAS THAT SWELL a few weeks back- my gaad the whole coast was perfection. I scored the best waves I've had on the east coast in 4 years- and got some tasty video footage too.
I'm trying to sus it so i leave a spare board at my folks place on coromandel peninsula so I can use the bike to get there (instead of costing myself 50 bucks) and still surf... If you're asking i take it you also surf?- where you like to head??

Sounds like you got it made! Yea, I do love it but I am not really a surfer. My mate lent me his 7 foot mini-mal for last summer (2004) so I did go out there and gave it a go. We usually go to Piha, mainly cause that's my mate's fav P.S. the roads going there are pretty fun too!
The best fun I had was Jan of last year when I was with me mates and we surfed every single day for a week in Whangamata. Waves weren't big or anything but were real nice with very clean breaks. I even had go on a short board but then the nose went under and I went arse up. Ended up breaking the board and having a bruised chin!

te he he- and- te he... I was teaching surfing down in whanga this summer, but i missed your bust-up! snapping someone elses board is a truely unforgivable sin. you'll snap less boards if you get out of the shallow water- unless you spectacularly nailed your board falling from the top of the wave onto it out the back. either way that's classic! surfing takes a long time- but it's the best sport there is...

Hahahahaha!
Pick up my new bike on Saturday. I'm so excited I've just wet myself (again). Not exactly new to bikes but I haven't owned one for nigh on 13 years now so it could be interesting...
Hey, someone remind me - how do you get reverse gear on those things again?
(I really hope my riding's better than my surfing, otherwise I'm a dead man).

You have to stop taking the admonition to 'touch wood' so literally, mate.

I think it'll be more like 'touching cloth' when I get back on a bike.
Sorry surfchick, didn't mean to lower the tone of the thread. I hope you have many years of happy riding ahead of you.

dude-
i think we're all going to collide in west auckland...weather permitting on sat- i know that excited feeling about a new bike- i couldn't be held to get my bike once i'd seen it there was no going back- no number of horror stories about bike wrecks and paraplegics from my doctor brother did a thing... i also haven't stopped talking about biking since i started riding mine. it's actually quite good to have somewhere to go to vent it (this website) cause eveyone i know is pretty much bigoted against bikes.see you sat if we all make it that far...

Least you're good at one of them.
My surfing ability is right up there with my riding skills.
Only took it up this year, though, so I'll keep using that excuse. Loving the long boards. Although the shorts are fun too (and being a skinny geek I find them easier to get waves on).
How do you carry your board on your bike?
