that aint the zone - that aint the zone - that is the other end of green island, - on the opposite side from where that shot was taken is nz's heaviest wave! its mental! and in the intro of the dvd "one hundred reason's" by hayden parsons, there is a vid of this exact shot. It does look similar to the zone - but it aint the zone
