For me 2011 began with a splash and a bang in the biggest Lake in the Southern Hemisphere- Lake Taupo! Anna White has a sweet bach on the waterfront of Lake Taupo so about 30 of us boosted there to meet up, swim, sunbathe, talk smack and of course celebrate the end of what has been for many of us an absolutely epic year! Seeing in the new year with a dip in the lake followed closely by a soak in Anna’s hot tub and some sweet boogying on the D floor was just the style I was hoping for 2011 to bring...Raging good times! The days following have continued to bring all sorts of fun and sweetness along with the occasional bit of work at the restaurant. Yesterday was full on beginning with a 6am surf at Maketu with a whole lot of the local chicks, followed by some training and then the most amazing afternoon on the Waikato river in Oraki-Karako! Sam, Flick, Josh, Harriet, Sams folks and friends and I all cruised up Lake Waikato in the Roil’s boat. We spent the afternoon enjoying the sun and making the most of the cool waters with some swimming and wakeboarding, it was radical! This was followed by an adventure into the forest, through some caves and walking up a hot water stream to land in a hot pool resting at the foot of a hot waterfall. Awesome days with awesome people! This year has gotten off to a great start, let the good times continue...
