SURF TRIP<br />

The easiest way to describe Piha is breathtaking. It may sound like a cliché but from atop the Waitakere Ranges as<br />

Piha comes into full view you are greeted with a most awe inspiring panorama of rugged cliffs, the wild Tasman sea,<br />

volcanic black sand beaches and lush hillsides. In the gloomy conditions it almost had a foreboding, prehistoric feel<br />

about it. On one hand you’re bristling with excitement and on the other you are absolutely packing your duds.<br />
