Surf: Next is Pines, a mellower wall and shoulder with the odd cover-up section in smaller swells. Lower tides and lower crowds thanks to the long walk. Directions: From Kaitaia head south west on Redan Street, out of town, then continue straight ahead on Pukepoto Road. When you get to Ahipara, Continue straigh on Foreshore Road, over the Wairoa River. The road will change to gravel. Continue west along the shore line to the western end of the bay and turn right onto Wreck Bay Road. Drive to the end of the road and find a park. Environment: Great for intermediates looking for a bit of space.
