Day – Surf Hot Water Beach twice, hot springs at night
Night – Hot water beach parking lot
What can we say here....woke up early to perfect head high barrels. Surfed all day (ate and used the bathroom too). More barrels on this single day than my entire time in indo. Met a cool cat our age from Oregon who was camping in the parking lot in his van with his girlfriend. His girlfriend's parents came over to NZ and rented a camper for a month to travel with them, and were staying in the parking lot as well. That night we all walked down the beach at low tide to dig for the thermal spring water. There was about a dozen others down there already. Approximately 8-12" below the sand, boiling fresh water bubbles to the surface. It is possible to dig a large pool and lay in it like a private ocean front spa. Good day, good times!
