Haruru hALLSNorth to Cape Reinga: Sand Surfing
At the northern end of the beach, we headed inland through a small creek. We had a fun ride through the beach, but it was even better going through this creek. The bus stopped here so we could do some serious sand surfing. When I say serious, I mean it! As the bus parked on the side of the creek, we had an uphill battle to the top of the sand dune. As in any sand environment, every yard gained as you go uphill is followed by a loss of a foot downhill. At least the sand was small as powder and as cool as the ground covered by shade. The reward from atop is worthwhile as you get a 360 degree view of the region. Not only that, once I caught my breath, I proceeded to go downhill. Instead of walking, I did some surfing; sand-surfing using a bogie board and riding it head first. I did this four times and all four where memorable. Read more about it under the sport tips.
