New Zealand Red Beach, Auckland This is my favorite skimboarding spot. with lots of
big waves. lots of locals and people from other cities come here. this
is a very popular beach. winter is good but it is very cold. Across the road from red beach fish and chip shop.
if you are coming from Auckland just get on the northern motorway and
keep going and get off at sliverdale and follow the main road and then
when you see a sign saying red beach just go there. Submitted By: HACKERMAN42@hotmail.com Main beach MT maunganui Main beach at the mount is the most crowed of all
the beaches that are in the area.It always has things going on there
from beach volley ball to surf carnivals. I find to avoid the crowds of
swimmers is to go out in the morning when the water is colder.The best
time for skimming here is from about mid to high tide when there is a
good size swell and when there is no good outside banks so the wave that
dumps on the beach (way more power). (this place is pretty inconsistant
so don’t fly here from miles away expecting to find sick waves, but
the mount does turn it on the right swell) There are plenty of surf
shops there to. It’s kinda like a mini surfers paradise with all the
apartments popping out of the ground. If u go there in the summer
holidays around the new year expect to find a lot of hot auckland snob
chicks and boyracers the place gets really really crowed for the size of
the town around holiday times so be warned. I’m sure the locals
don’t like their town getting trashed so always be careful with
rubbish and most of all glass bottles (last new years i was there the
morning after shit loads of glass on the ground broken everywhere) I
hope this information maybe useful to all. I’ll keep searching for
more NZ skim spots Submitted By: jub_182@hotmail.com Tairua Bay Went on holiday in the coromandel for new years and was absolutely kicking myself that I didn’t take my skimboard along! The shore break at Tairua Bay was the best I’ve ever seen in New Zealand. Big 5 foot waves close enough to the shore to catch on a skimboard. Really clean beach with no rocks or shells. Further north is Hahei beach which was just as good! Next time I will find room to take my board! It is right around the corner from Pauanui beach. Submitted By: tahiwalsh@hotmail.com Onemana Beach Go to Onemana beach during early summer, this is
usually when the best time for skimming and surfing. Keep away from the
flags (because that’s where the crowds are) but it is not usually
busy. Fun skim is to be had here. From Auckland head down towards Thames then take the road over the peninsula to Whangamata then ten minutes north of there you'll see the sign saying “Onemana beach”.Head down the road till you see the houses and beach. Submitted By: toddy_martelli@hotmail.com |
