New to surfing, new to this site! Just thought I'd say Hi, introduce myself.
Recently moved to New Zealand (Sumner, Chch) from the UK (north west) and a friend lent me a 9'1" mal a few weeks ago and gave me a few tips/lessons, since then I've been out 3-4 times a week (beach a short walk away! sweet).
Not quite standing up yet but getting there, most fun I've had in ages tho.
Anyho - this looks a cool place to hang out and chat.

Rob.
