"Thanks to Instagram and Tumblr, it's clear that the true meaning of adventure is to lay in a cold tent at the top of a sacred mountain, sip single origin coffee from your vintage-replica camping cup and take 35mm photos of your every move. Waves or no waves, this is the new way to do trips right? Imagine going back to the pre-smart phone age for a second and channeling the vibes of an O.G surf trip. Keep it basic, dial in the swell, load the wagon and listen to some punk. Visit the bakery as often as possible, sleep in a weird motel, talk about babes and psych on your favourite surfers."

In this short instalment of The Search, Noah Wegrich, Pat Curren, and Wilem Banks, are hosted by Kiwi lads Johnny Hicks and Elliot Paerata-Reid.

If NZ was a bottle of milk, it would have to be that delicious little creamy bit right at the top.

Hmmm... More like skim milk to me. NZ has got to be better than that.

Maybe I should clarify.

I meant NZ as a whole. This vid may not illustrate that but we all know NZ has insane waves. Throw in impressive mountains for snowboarding/skiing, spectacular scenery, great food, great beer, better wine and really nice people and you'd be hard pressed to find a nicer place.

In fact, NZ is on the short list for the next OS holiday with the wifey.

Zen can't go wrong there....if you here in the snow season pack the Japanese rubber, you will need it.

BTW Anyone going to NZ and want to get on a good thing check imoova.com Relocation motor homes and hire cars from $1 per day....usually they give you a ferry ride and 5 days to move a camper.

you sucked me in with the intro but that wasn't anything special.
also, when will editors stop putting un-made punts in clips? they do realise when they cut off the ride out we know they fell right?
