Waikowhai (end of Waikowhai road off Hillsborough Road) to Cornwallis Wharf. 14km. Great course with ENE wind. The bumps will increase the further we go down the track.
Surf - Needless to say the usual rules and etiquette of surfing apply. And you also have to figure out what, where, and how are appropriate for your skill level.

From Standupzone comment: “During winter and spring our prevailing winds are westerlies and storms from the south, and in summer we get northerners and noreasters from tropical storms”
