The Island

this is the best spot in New Zealand, but you shoud be paddle fit.And good on fast wave.

Atmosphere:
The local do get a bit agro, so dot paddle out and think you own the place . And if they call you in to a wave. take it. Even if it is a close out, cos if you dont they wount give you another one.

Additional Info:
Make sure you lock the car, and take someone to stay in the car.it is a long paddle to the premier break, but ther are a lot more spot that are just as good.
The rock is a fast and powerful righthand wave.
Inside Island is also a good wave and is for the less Experienced. But is still a powerful spot to surf.

the spot is between Gisborne and Wainui
Take the road out to sponge bay and you will se it.
