The Pa Point Surf Photo: 'Hongoeka Storm Surf' by Rob Davies

Decent waves at Hongoeka following a big NW gale. The worst of the wind was blocked by the headland. The beach was up to about head-high and a few went out but the point looked potentially much better with tasty rights that seemed to be overhead.
