Surfing Dolphins, Catlins, New Zealand

This photo pretty much sums up how awesome of a weekend it was... I got to spend the day surfing with 7 dolphins and 1 fur seal, with NO OTHER SURFERS in the waters!!! Hooray for uncrowded beaches in New Zealand!
Hopefully, this is what surfing in heaven will be like!

This is out at Curio Bay, in the Catlins, New Zealand

Ok, the waves were small, really small, but surfing with 7 dolphins was mind-blowing... : ) : )
