The westcoast of New Zealand is reknown to be very harsh. The winds are strong and the sea is rough. Whatipu Beach, 30km outside of Auckland is no difference. Still, it is a surfers paradise and even some brave fishermen are attracted by these conditions. A tough bit of land to grab some supper. I was watching this guy for quite a while, and as far as I can tell, his hunt was more than satisfiying.
