Activities - New Zealand
Surfing
Since the 1960's, surfing has grown to become one of New Zealand's favourite recreational activities. We certainly have the fantastic surf and climate, and for many young New Zealanders the beach and the surf is a way of life. Our temperate climate makes it possible to surf all year round. Summer is obviously the most comfortable time to surf, however, a wet suit is recommended for the cooler months. The local surf shops will offer the best advise on where to go for the best waves. Reputable areas with legendary waves are Raglan, The Coromandel, Mount Maunganui, Gisborne, Wairarapa Coast, Waipu Cove, Kaikoura and Dunedin.
