Civil engineer Danel Korb took the day off work to make the most of what the Antarctic blast left behind – but that was after she went for a surf and a skate. “They said ‘that’s the Taranaki Dream’.” Korb was up before dawn and paddling out at Graveyards, off Paora Rd in Wārea, in the icy darkness. She was so committed to the swell she went with “literally nobody” there, and didn’t realise how far out she was until it got lighter. “It was a bit tiring, but I got back – and there was still some frost on the grass,” she said. “It was a successful surf.”
And finished with a ski on Taranaki Maunga. “I’ve had a wicked day. Doing things like this is good for the soul,” he said from the slopes. “It’s not a bad outcome to finally get there at 51.”

Former Taranaki man Edward Guy, who now lives on Arrowtown, managed to complete the surf ‘n’ snow double while on sabbatical in his home region. Guy, who is the managing director of Rationale Ltd, an infrastructure investment consultancy, said there was a frost on the sand when he took to the waves at Ahu Ahu Rd.
