About this word search
The left-hand break at Manu Bay near Raglan appeared in the film The Endless Summer and still draws surfers from around the world. Piha on Auckland's west coast has black sand and strong rips, and Mount Maunganui is a classic beach on the east coast.
The grid is fourteen by fourteen, with words across, down or diagonally, never backwards. Mount Maunganui is the longest at fourteen letters and fills a whole row. Wax and rip have three letters. Look for the X of wax and the W of wetsuit, swell and wipeout. Point break and duck dive run together.
Talk about rips while you search: what a rip looks like and why you swim between the flags.
