Richi uk - Ocean beach is one of the most beutiful beaches i surfed in Noz, wave quality is good with an abundance of peaks, it wasnt crowded once and the locals will make u feel welcome its also a stunning drive, i was staying at AJ backpackers in hastings, i highly recomend it, i have heard that the sumer season can get wild in hastings, with loadsa jobs going, picking fruit in the surounding area. If ur in the area its a must, also check out Napier. I plan to surf that beach again sum day! Enjoy
