I’ve driven through Kiakoura so much but have never really spent any time there. Such a cool part of the drive south, along the rocky shoreline. We went there to film Blake Thornton surfing for the second episode of Diaries Down Under, its the middle of winter and I wasn’t really that excited about surfing that icey water. That view changed pretty quick after I saw the setup, a right hand point, waves quite small but it looked super fun. I managed to borrow some gear and get out there. We had a fire on the beach and there was a guy there pulling in Kahawai that were schooling just meters off the shore, seals hanging out, a few dolphins out there, so so epic!! We hung out till dark then came back first thing in the morning and done it all again before we had to nos off to Christchurch to catch a plane. Kiakoura I will be back!
