Raglan, New Zealand.

Until last year, this had been the longest point break I'd ever surfed. By the time you got to the end of your ride, you're legs were so exhausted that you wanted to collapse. In order to take this picture, I climbed to the top of a hill and fully zoomed out my camera... even then, I was not able to capture the entire length of the wave. New Zealand is a beautiful country with amazing surf.

Jumping over to the other side of the world, here is an image from New Zealand's north island. I was on my way for an early morning surf session (at Piha Beach)... and I was driving over the hills, I caught this view point from the corner of my eye. It was something that did not look real. If you look closely in the background, you will see the city of Auckland "peeking" out through the fog. It was truly breathtaking.
