Well we're back in Waikiki for this evening. We travelled down from the North Shore today and we're staying in a hostel tonight and then flight out to NZ at 11.55pm tomorrow. Had a great final few days on the North Shore. Watched more surf. Watched all of the women's contest which took place yesterday. It was great!! Went out on the boards again ourselves and managed to stand. Zak got to ride a wave which was wicked and at least I got to feel what it was l...
