How's it going?! I recently moved out to NZ from cali and I'm trying to get a good feel for the local scene...figure out where some good rides are...I'm located in flat ass Blenheim at the moment but i'm always down to get out for an adventure some place else on the weekends. If there is anyone close to Blenheim/Nelson let me know and we'll bomb some hills!

Also, if people can give me a good idea where in the country is best that would be awesome. I figure auckland must be alright...Nelson is also supposed to be pretty good...where else? Anyway, stoked to be in this awesome country and ready to get riding.

Hey guys,

I live in Rothesay Bay, Auckland, but do most of my longboarding in Albany and Pinehill. I recognised most of the places in that video.

I'm pretty new to longboarding, I've only been doing it for about a month.

Just thought I'd make myself known
