Piha Tide Poster
Black sands and Lion Rock define Auckland's wild west coast. Piha's famous break is shaped by the same powerful Tasman swells that drive its dramatic tide cycles — big tides that expose vast stretches of dark sand at low water, then surge back to crash against the cliffs.

“Love the piece, such a unique artwork with meaning. As a keen surfer and a designer I ordered one for myself when I discovered it on Instagram, and may purchase another one as a gift.”
