Who needs happy pills when you can road trip?

The email from Kiwi surfer, Simon Hayward, was simple - just six photos - but the text was bursting. "The photos were taken last week and it was properly cranking!"

I sent an email back and received a reply almost instantly. Simon, presumably, still hadn't come down from his fruitful road trip. "I took the surf pics last Thursday while surfing with my bro and a good mate! We had one of the points to ourselves for a couple of hours and scored some very tasty rides!"

All photos, text, and hearty cross-the-ditch cheer courtesy of Simon Hayward.
