No one likes a cold, drawn-out Winter with no waves, especially not in the middle of a pandemic-induced lockdown, and especially not Dion Agius.

“It’s been a weird time for me in Taz,” says Dion. “I’ve been going a little stir crazy. The winters are cold here and there are no waves. I’ve been here all winter.”

With a 5’6″ Untitled V2 in the board bag and filmer / photographer Nick Green in tow, Dion snuck over to an NZ spot, one he keeps under his hat and one that very rarely breaks. The accompanying 2:23 worth of footage is the result. Clearly, these winter fruits were worth the squeeze and sometimes the grass is that little bit greener. Read the full write up here.
