Description: This past week two of the world's top surfers have been checking out New Zealand's best breaks. Current world number one surfer Joel Parkinson and 1999 World Champion Mark Occhilupo got to taste what many visting surfers miss on their travels to New Zealand -- a solid East Coast swell. Subscribe for more videos youtube.com/cowps1 youtube.com/gisborneherald Stockroute (Wainui Beach) in Gisborne is a fairly exposed beach and reef break that is usually a safe bet and works all around the year. Offshore winds blow from the west. Groundswells are more common than windswells and the best swell direction is from the south southeast. Waves at the beach are both lefts and rights. Best around mid tide when the tide is rising. When it's working here, it can get crowded. Watch out for rips and rocks. Filmed and Edited by Ben Cowper Cowps Productions cowpsproductions@hotmail.com
