Pop-Top Apartments Whangamata
Located right above White Noise Co-working space, this pad is the perfect place to stay for a surf/work getaway. Our Betty team went and stayed earlier this year for a visit to workshop, plan and surf and we highly recommend. We loved strolling to surf checks, the thoughtful touches throughout, and the AMAZING shower! With heated bathroom floors and a brass waterfall shower, your post-surf scrub will be 5-star!
Salt Gypsy turtle neck rash guard
Who would’ve thought the turtle neck would make a come-back, let alone out in the surf? Well, this is exactly what Danny Clayton from women-lead surf brand Salt Gypsy is challenging with her slogan “Style in the Line-up”. With stylish colours, patterns and shapes that are timeless, your rash vest or Betty Bottoms will be protecting your curves from the UV for years to come.
“We are all about the good times here at Salt Gypsy. Celebrating women of all shapes and sizes and surf abilities, because we know when you’re feeling good, you’re surfing better.”
— Danny, Founder of Salt Gypsy
