For the sake of clarity, I don’t surf. I don’t even swim in the sea. I know that if I do I’ll be eaten by a Great White Shark immediately upon entering the water. People might say that’s a phobia. I however know I simply have a rational fear of a dangerous predator. That aside, I love the sea and love being near the sea. I also like photographing sports. I’ve decided one of my favourite sports to photograph is surfing. So here are some surfing photos. All of these were taken in Houghton Bay which is just 15 minutes or so from the Wellington CBD on the South Coast of the North Island of New Zealand. Hence the title City Surfers. I’m not going to write captions for the photos because that would be superfluous. I hope you enjoy the images.

Great action shots. You wouldn’t catch me out there either. I’d be the one lazing on the sand. 😎

Lazing is the best, not sure about on the sand though. In the bar is the spot

Great action shots Sandy. I wouldnt worry about sharks mate. I am about your vintage and still surf when i can get out of bed early enough. I have seen and swum with Orca and Bronze whaler sharks and never been bitten. Too ugly and old i guess.

Cheers Andrew, they didn’t bite you because they were saving their appetite for me
