Piha Beach is actually the safest beach on Auckland's west coast due to the shelter provided by Camel Rock, (Taitomo Island). Any claim that there are more rescues and more drownings at Piha is blatantly false. Yes events held in Piha can be exciting, but that is because the unique set up at Piha allows events to continue in big surf when they would have to be cancelled in similar swells at other beaches. According to Piha Surf Lifesaving Club, noone has ever drowned between the flags at Piha. Enjoy.
05:00 biggest wave ive ever seen a kneeboard take on going straight and making it. What a legend
