After the Storm

The northern part of New Zealand has just been battered by a north-easterly storm that brought heavy rain, high winds and cold temperatures. Some Auckland suburbs and parts of the CBD were flooded and several roofs were blown off. The end came very quickly. As soon as the sun appeared, so did the surfers.  The choppiness of the sea subsides in short time and for the next few hours perfect surfing waves form.  Its school holiday time so the news spread quickly to get to Takapuna Beach to ride the waves.
