"ADD US TO YOUR LIST"

Dear Glantaf School,

We are writing to you from Lytton High School, Gisborne. Gisborne is set on the eastcoast of the North Island, it catches extremely good swells luckily our two houses are around 25 meteres from the sea. We are very keen surfers so around about every day we go surfing. The water is getting very cold now so a fat wetsuit helps.

Makarori ( that's where we live ) is a small surfing community. There are arond 62 houses based at Makarori. Half of the population there surf so it can get crowded. Makarori is about 30 minutes drive from our school ( THAT'S BY BUS).

We also enjoy skateboarding, eating and sleeping but surfing is our main sport (boogie boarders suck!)

Here are a few questions we would like to ask you involving tourism:
