Oakura Beach Sunset 26 January 2016 – Posted in: #vertigolife, Dolphins, Surfing

While there was most likely some epic surfing to be had last night, I took the opportunity to shoot out in the boat and see if i could grab some tuna. Alas no fish at all, but it was one of the stillest nights i can remember being on the water in Taranaki ever, and so beautiful out there! Ran into an amazing pod of dolphins on the way out and managed to catch some footage on my iPhone while cruising with these guys for about 10 minutes. Got back to the beach in time just to see the moon rise, and feel truly blessed as i sit here slugging away on the computer for another 8 hours!

These cool little guys started doing tricks and acting up as soon as i got the camera out! Below is the trip mapped on my watch.
