Muriwai beach

We had to bring our bikes in to get the brakes switched around (crazy Kiwi's ride with the rear brake on the left!). So while we were waiting we headed out to Muriwai for a night. Muriwai is another westcoast blacksanded beach town. The waves were a bit crazy (2-3 meters), but Keegan decided to get out on a surf board finally. He was exhausted from paddling into, and surfing whitewash but had fun! I didn't think I'd enjoy myself the same on those waves Haha so I chilled on the beach which was perfect.
Besides surfing, Muriwai is known for their gannet bird colony. It's pretty crazy how many birds hangout there. This is their breeding place so basically watched a bunch of birds getting it on.
