McFly is a hugely popular band from the U.K. The bass player is a cool guy named Dougie Poynter who liked Drew’s art and commissioned a customization on his guitar. McFly has a fiercely loyal following as evidenced by… |  |

The Waves Came – and they were BIG. Just in time for Drew’s 38th birthday. His first surf at Indicators was super – the waves were triple overhead and FAST. He was having the best surf of the trip, until….. (more…)
Remember the movie “National Lampoon’s Vacation” with Chevy Chase? They drove days and days to get to the famed Wallyworld for their big yearly vacation. They traveled through bad weather, survived car trouble and even Aunt Edna’s death, only to find that Wallyworld was closed – and a big disappointment.
Here is our NZ equivalent of Wallyworld: Wiggs was so excited to go to the well advertised Hot Spring Pools and Waterslides. The brochure pictures kids having fun on water bumper cars and big slides.
We drove hours in pitch blackness through country roads, all night long. Drew wanted Wiggs to wake up to this wonderland of fun, so we free-camped in a turnout across the road with a plan that when the gates opened, we’d be ready. And when the sun came up – well, we found (more…)
We are up in the Northland now – in the Bay of Islands.
We’ve been on a relentless search for waves, and each time we think we are going to find waves just at the next surf spot, well, think again!
We arrived Sandy Bay on a beautiful afternoon, and we were stoked to find nice waves, not big, not perfect, but hey, they were waves.
We met a local there and told him about our wave woes – how we’ve been chasing something we aren’t finding. He said “that’s what we call a (more…)

Getting an internet connection here is nearly impossible at times. It doesn’t help that my laptop screen has become cracked (I guess Sony Vaio’s don’t travel well). This lap top was top of the line about a year and a half ago. I’ve had nothing but trouble with it from day one. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER PC – It’s Macs from here on out! Drew has never had a problem with his macs… (more…)
Drew’s curse continues – the waves have been either flat or extremely small. I keep reminding him, when he gets depressed over it, that this a family vacation and that surf is only a bonus. But nothing I say makes it any easier for him…
We’ve renamed Mount Manganui as MOUNT AWESOME, because it’s the most awesome town we’ve been to. It’s a friendly little surf town nestled around the small mount. Completely picturesque, and with loads of (more…)
Bob sent in photos of his second surfboard painting. Nice! More after the jump
