Morning legends! Get out there, run, walk, swim, skate, maybe even some jogging with a silent ’J’ (jogging). That strong wind has backed off a touch and there will be a bit of sun mixed with clouds. No rain today! #awr #aucklandweatherreport #auckland #weather #nz #newzealand #running
Hey team, it's World Oceans Day. Here's a little illo of my favourite ocean creature, the great white shark. NZ’s entire west coast is a highway for these legends migrating south from Australia on route to fulfil their prehistoric hankering for a higher fat content in their diet, this is where they grow between 5-8m long and in some cases bigger. I surfed at the bottom of the South Island in a spot called Purakaunui. In that 2 hour long 12 deg water, summer surf sesh, I counted 10 sea lions on the beach. I kept recounting them every ten mins to make they didn't feel obliged to also paddle out to surf the bombing world class left-handers this incredible beach produces. The sea lions never paddled out which got me thinking, what or who else was in the water on this frosty summers day.
I want to say it's gonna be a a pretty good day weather-wise today. But I got skunked by my predictions on Saturday and the weather made me look like a fool who couldn't work out if I needed window wipers on or off. However, there could be a few showers but it looks relatively fine. I’m currently watching the view of the sunrise over what used to be the Red Beach Golf Course. There are just a few stragglers hoping to photobomb the morning commuters sunrise photo.
