NEW PLYMOUTH - New Zealand
New Plymouth is the main town within the province of Taranaki. Situated on the West Coast of the North Island (facing Australia) and is exposed to the Tasman Sea. Surfing was started by the visit of travelling California surfers Bing Copeland and Rick Stoner in the late 1950's. The lack of surfboards throughout New Zealand meant the sport was slow to take off and was mainly the domain of the very active Surf Life Saving Clubs.
