The Reef Pumps! - The reef does pump on its day but needs a solid NNW swell for it to work. The likes of cyclone Ivy centered slightly to the west of auckland pushes clean lines into the reef.

6 metre swell? - Rumour has it that the swell to end all swells is on its way this week. Im amping for the Tamaki reef experience, been waxing up my Bic for the days to come in anticipation. Hope to see all the KHC there and da hui, especially the pioneer, your styles are legend man. First wave to Aidan Salman thou, your mastery of that hell break is unquestionable.
