This beautiful region attracts pacific swells from various directions, so there are plenty of opportunities to find great waves. Mahia, on the peninsula of Hawke's Bay, is home to World Tour elite surfer Ricardo Christie. This break can handle solid swell and really pumps! Napier is worth a look, with a number of fun beachside towns to explore and is New Zealand's art deco capital. There is heaps to see and do in this region, as well as some award winning regional wines to enjoy post surf too!
