Nor’ East Swell

Witi was born a surfer. The ocean swells speaks to him. He doesn’t tell anyone he hears it because his mum would have him back to the psychiatrist. Witi wishes his dad was still around because he’d understand- he introduced Witi to surfing and music. But he mysteriously vanished 8 years ago. Now the voices are coming to him more often each day and he is sure it is his father speaking to him. And there is a cyclone closing in on the beach with unusual force and his whānau has come with tales of his heritage that he has never heard of.
