NZ: OK, things are getting ridiculous... and a bit cold

My day: Wake up. No heater in house. See my breath out of the covers. Verbally abuse the weather. Look out window... Bluebirds. Fresh dump on the mount. Ice on van windows. Wetsuit wet and frozen. Lot's of layers, lots of Coffee. Pick up the Dutchman, head down coast.
Snow on side of road. Arrive at most popular break in Taranaki. Firing. Offshore. Nobody out. Are we in the twilight zone? 2 other dudes show up and paddle out with us. They leave after 30 minutes... why? I may never know. Dutchman and I hoot and hollar at each other for next 2 hours by ourselves. Arms are destroyed from previous day. We finally go in... a couple guys paddle out... take a few pics for the books. Drive straight to Burger Fuel for a Third Pounder with cheese please. Epic. Zombie for rest of day. Blog to stay awake.
