Hundreds of people came to Piha for the annual Longboat Competitions off South Beach. A full-on water sport for both men and women, it had its thrills and spill out there riding the 4 metre waves. Great stuff!
Some of the longboats placed ready on Piha South Beach prior to the competition.
Team work's needed to unload the longboat from the trailer.
