I live and work just up the road, on Sundays I bike down here. I ride a motorbike as well, the motorbike guys come down here on Sundays for motorbike talk and a beer. There will be a few guys here, we catch up here just about every Sunday if we’re not on a bike ride somewhere.

I’ve lived in New Brighton for 25 years. Love it. The easterly, the noise, the beach, the smell, the seaweed, the birds, and not too many people. It’s definitely changed a bit since the earthquakes, obviously the roads and all that haven’t been sorted out, but there’s people coming here, houses are getting a bit flasher.
