New Zealand
Sorry for the spotty updates, we’re currently traveling/surfing New Zealand, and internet service isn’t as widespread here as we thought it would be.
Regardless, as you can tell from the photo of Raglan above (taken yesterday), we’re scoring, so you’re just going to have to wait for The Daily Drop to become “daily” again.
I’ve always wanted to check out New Zealand, and so far, it’s everything I was hoping it would be. Incredibly beautiful, uncrowded, super-friendly people, and amazing surf. I always heard that “there are more sheep in New Zealand than people”, so I thought I was prepared for it, but I can’t believe how many sheep there are here. They’re everywhere. Fluffy white dots lining every green hill on the island.
Please keep checking back for more updates.

Drive Thru New Zealand Trailer
Finally, we get to see the much anticipated (by me) trailer for Drive Thru New Zealand. Next month I’ll be embarking on my own little Drive Thru New Zealand (except by myself instead of with Occy and Benji), and this DVD can’t come out soon enough for me. Really looking forward to it.
Release Date: Mid-April 2008(?)

Drive-Thru New Zealand
I can’t wait for Drive-Thru New Zealand. I also can’t find a release date. The ad came out in the mags this month, and Transworld Surf has this photo gallery, but there’s no info on the 14 day Productions or Poor Specimen websites.
Butt, there are more photos (including this gem of Pat O’s ass) and info on Alex Gray’s Blog, where he calls it “the best trip of my life!!!”.
New Zealand has always been the dream trip I haven’t taken yet, and I’m planning on this video pushing me over the edge and into an Air New Zealand seat.
Does anybody know when the release date is?

iPad
Give me one of the on the beach in New Zealand, with WiFi, and I’d be set.
Top New Zealand architect Andre Hodgskin created a sensation when he launched the BACHKIT in 2000, gaining acclaim in international design magazines. Andre has now developed the iPAD, a fresh look at the concept of a simple but stylish lightweight kitset building.
The iPAD is a true kitset bach designed to cover a range of options; it could be a one bedroom holiday home, secondary dwelling, granny flat, office, studio or resort unit to name but a few.
It can be grouped as a series of pavilions to form larger accommodation if required. A single iPAD totals 50m sq with decks of 55m sq and will retail in New Zealand for $125,000.00. Various external cladding and colour options are available to suit individual taste and context.
Of particular note is that the iPAD can be either manufactured off-site and easily transported to its final destination, or shipped as a kitset and erected on site by a licensed contractor.
