Waimea Death-pusher

Thursday 3 February 2011 To be a SA bodyboarder on the North Shore ain't easy. Forget the heavy locals. They have a reputation to live up to, one laid down by the Cockwell twins in the 90s. It's go big or go home, the way they like it. This year’s crew has earned their stripes. Sacha Specker wrapped up a 3 month tour of duty with this slideshow of an ugly Waimea shorebreak and nuggets from Keiki, Pipe and Backdoor.
