Compact, easy to manage, with plenty of stability so little aspiring surfers can get out there and enjoy the waves. The Gnaraloo Dune Buggy is the perfect entry level surfboard for first timers under 40kg/85lbs, and a great option for little rippers who love messing around on a softboard.
Feature an integrated Fin System, Wooden Stringers to ensure the board is stiff enough. A light weight EPS core combined with a PE foam layer on the deck and a High Density PE Slick that is mounted to a thin PE Foam layer on the bottom give the board an awesome feel in the water. Soft enough not to hurt should you fall on it but hard enough to handle the power of the waves.
L 147cm
W 50cm
Thick 7.5cm
Volume 35 l
Board Contours: Flat Bottom
Rail: Full Rail
Surfer Skill Level:: 0-2ft
Kia ora,
Does anyone have an unwanted piece of carpet or rug - preferably at least 3m x 2m ? I would love to have it to use for a project
Thanks.

New Zealand homeowners are now more likely to sell at a loss than at any time since 2013, and if you’re in Auckland or Wellington, the odds are even higher.

Inspector Glenda Barnaby, Christchurch Area Prevention manager, says daytime burglaries are just as common as nightime burglaries.
“Burglaries can be committed at any time of the day, and coming into warmer months there is more opportunity for thieves."
"Although a majority of burglaries involve forced entry through windows and doors, we are starting to see more incidents at insecure premises. Police deal with cases where burglaries are committed in broad daylight, sometimes even while the victim is at home. Good weather means open doors and windows, which makes homes more vulnerable to burglars.”
Inspector Barnaby says there’s a few things people can do to reduce their changes of a burglary being committed.
⚠️ If you’re going outside for gardening, relaxing in the sun, or working in the garage, take a moment to lock your doors and secure your windows first.
⚠️ Do the same at night when you go to bed - keep your doors and windows secure and close your curtains. Fitting window stays means you can get a breeze coming through, while keeping your windows secure.
⚠️ Get to know your neighbours - let them know if you’re going away and look out for one another.”
If you see any suspicious activity, people or vehicles in your neighbourhood, don't hesitate to contact Police.
If you witness or suspect any illegal activity, please call 111 if it is happening now, or make a report through 105 either online or over the phone, if it is after the fact.

Sometimes someone we love is grieving, and we just don’t know what to say.
I’ve written a gentle Whakaaio Thoughts piece about how to sit beside someone in their grief, even when words don’t come easily. If it helps even one person feel a little less alone, it’s worth sharing.
