Catlins. Catlins is situated in a very good position where it
receives some of the largest ocean swells of New Zealand, they
are very often over five meter. Big wave surfing is a popular
sport in Catlins. Ocean swells are waves on the surface of the
ocean with long wavelength. The big surfing wave makes part of
the surfing sport. The surfers moves into waves on a Rhino
charges or guns, which are surf boards, most of the time with
waves at least of twenty feet high. Bigger are the waves and the
faster it will travel. A large board may allow a surfer to move
fast enough to catch the waves. This is a sport for people who
like adrenalin. It is also not a sport to be done by amateurs;
it can be quite dangerous if someone has no experience in
surfing. So don’t adventure yourself if you have no experience.
