Aotearoa
As most surfers want to know if their destination of choice has potential for scoring great waves, this lens is an album of digital photographs of New Zealand surfing. I hope my images allow you to see what you may experience during your surfing exploration (and adventure) here in New Zealand.
Although small in size, comprising two islands (the North Island and the South Island) and numerous smaller islands, New Zealand has a lot of different types of waves to offer for those seeking both big waves and small ankle snappers- from world-class point breaks to first-class beach breaks and everything in between.
Enjoy,
Cesar
PS. Additionally, I have included some links for further surfing along with other surfing related goodies.
P.P.S. Aotearoa is the Maori name for New Zealand. The word can be broken up as: ao = cloud, tea = white, and roa = long, and it is accordingly most often glossed as 'The land of the long white cloud'. The use of Aotearoa to refer to the whole of New Zealand is a post-colonial usage. (1)
P.P.P.S. Please don't forget to rate this lens! Thanks :)

I'm a Noosa based Surfer and line ups like these are not uncommon.
I hasten to add though you don't have to compete with 50 other surfers.
Mind if I come over for a Surf?
Might add too that this is a nice e clean site to visit.

Wow, those photos are amazing! It's no wonder that they filmed LOTR there. : )
Those beaches look so wonderful- no tourists, just nature. I'm writing about surfing in California and it's a whole different story out here. So many people. You can check it out if you have time at http://www.surfcaliforniablog.com.
The only thing I'd heard about New Zealand was LOTR and sheep, but now I'm definitely planning a trip out there!
