Cant seem to buy anything like it here I recon it or something like it would sell well here for the serious surfcaster. It weighs in @ 3.85 kg

The UK and Europe are light years ahead in accessories to angling. I spend time most evenings perusing YouTube admiring what is available to the real enthusiast.

Watch any of Alan Yates clips, he is tied into a large retail angling concern, and look at the selection of just about everything. I must also add the clothing for anglers, designed for the harsh UK winters, is excellent. Nothing like it here ... unfortunately.

Hmmmm.....it could possibly be adapted for Wellington/Wairarapa conditions. Perhaps half a dozen strategically attached small boat grapnel anchors buried in the gravel might do the trick.

Mind you the other weekend at White Rock I had, in 5 minutes, a wind shift of 90 degrees and from 10 to 70 plus kph as a pesky little front passed over. That might have been exciting.

And Corner Creek in Palliser Bay on a gusty day might be pushing the envelope a tad far. Worst case scenario - a stone flinging gust, I jump up and grab the roof to steady the ship, the grapnels pull out, I get tangled up and the whole nasty twisted mess blows into the sea.

Re: Beach Shelters

I know what you mean Hangler, I am from the UK too.
Also purchased at the same time a Shakspear "SALT" rod bag and rucksack-again nothing like it in NZ and the quality is spot on (even if the bag and rucksack are made in china!). Just wish the shipping was a bit cheaper.
Here is another Youtube video of the excellent beach shelter this time with audio and much better quality video than the last one.What it does not show is the shelter has a wide skirt that you cover with sand or shingle to stabilize the whole thing plus it also has sand pegs attached at the corners and the quality of this product is awesome. Mine being the latest model is black and no longer have the Velcro strap for spare rod mentioned in the video but I don't use 3 rods anyway so that does not matter to me.
