We unexpectedly arrived at Waihi Beach just as the North Island of New Zealand's surf boat final races were happening. What luck! The races were quite exciting, even if the surf was less than wild. The competitors looked to be in great shape and everyone seemed to be in a happy state of mind. Of course the weather was picture perfect.
