Feb. 17 -- 90 Mile Beach

Feb. 17, 2009
Ninety Mile Beach

On the NZ official highway maps, Ninety Mile Beach is listed as a highway -- "at low tide only". It's really more like 80 km. but it's so damn smooth and consistent from end to end, that you can gun it. As it turns out, it was a helluva lot faster getting back to Shipwrecks on the beach. I probably drove 30 miles south, all beach.

there is something completely surreal about flying down an endless beach at 80km, flushing seagulls, skirting the edge of the water, waving at the occasional passerby.

Well, there was only one thing to do: Ghost ride the whip.
