A few months ago I approached Tory about putting some content on the site for an upcoming trip my wife and I are taking to New Zealand for 2 weeks. He reminded me of the travel blog Rachel B. did when she went to South Africa (if you haven’t seen it, I have big shoes to fill. Check out her posts below in the travels section https://www.surf-station.com/category/stationmedia/surfclips/travels/ ) . Starting at the end of May, my goal is to bring you a little taste of the culture and, of course, waves we will encounter along the way. We will be armed with an RV, still cameras and possibly a Go Pro. In the meantime, I am going to try and document a little bit of planning leading up to the trip. Stay tuned for more in a few weeks.
