  • Well you finally stood up the waves hehehehe, oh u have volcanic sand on the beach?

  • @freak8385 Yeah, there is a lot of black sand on the west coast of the North Island. Maybe from Mount Taranaki erupting ... but I'm not sure.

  • Great! Is it common to sing before launching a boat?

    Sarah, have YOU surfed? ;)

  • @funfurfreak This kind of ceremony with singing and speeches in Māori is common for special occasions in New Zealand - opening of events, welcoming of visitors etc. I don't think it's done for every boat launch though.

see all
