Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that doesn’t justify a full post. For example:

Something interesting that happened to you
Something humourous that happened to you
Something frustrating that happened to you
A quick question
A request for recommendations
Pictures of your pet
A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like a hippo
Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how's it going?

Sucks about the car but it looks like you had a good trip!

When you say "rock gardening", you're talking about riding waves over rocks like this?

And for "surf practice and comp", is this a competition? And you're not meaning surf as in surf board, but still in kayaks?

Edit: Oh and one last question, what's the photo at 0:31 in this one? https://www.relive.cc/view/v26MjYPpVEq

That's the more extreme end of the spectrum, we were paddling in much calmer conditions. Mostly just noseying around the rocks. And yes, we were surfing in sea kayaks, it's a slightly different game to board surfing as we're catching waves much further out than the other surfers, and ideally peeling off before they actually curl over and break. We had a competition, which I actually came third in.

I think that's the inside of my pocket, I didn't notice that photo was in there.
