Baylys Beach Birthday

Happy Birthday Scott!

Lots of presents, what a surprise!
For Scott's birthday we went over to the west coast for some surfing. The surf report showed nice big waves at Baylys Beach...unfortunately once again they were TOO big for us to surf :( We did try bit got thrashed around to much we gave up. And the undertow was just way too powerful, there were some strong rips and we didn't want to get washed out to sea!

However we still had fun playing and boogie boarding in the powerful waves!

At the beach!
Eating S&V chips and looking good doing it :)
Let's go surfing!
Uh-oh the waves look big...
Too big for surfing :(
Boogie boarding is fun too says Scott!
and Greg  
Happy to be out of the deep water
Ahhhh here it comes!
Splash!
The wave is sucking me under!
We spent a long time trying to get a picture of us with a wave behind. It was hard because the current was SO strong that I could barely even stand next to Scott, haha. Also it was scary hearing the wave coming up behind us while we were waiting for the picture to take! Anyways, finally got a few good ones, after much hilarity :)

Ahhhh waves!!!!
It got us!
This one REALLY got us
Fun day at the beach! I can't believe how tired I feel...
But not too tired for a jump shot! 
Nice panorama pic by Greg

  1. Good choice. Beach for your birthday is a classic NZ thing to do. Hope you had a good one Scott. Now that it is getting warmer summer sessions at the beach are on the cards. You guys are practically kiwis... always getting amongst it in the surf!
