We went for a fathers day camping trip to Pouto Point near Dargaville got there a bit late and had to rush to beat the tide and I get the Raptor properly stuck
There are also 30km/h speed limits on sections of Ripiro beach, either side of the Baylys Beach Pouto Point and Glinks Gully beach entrances If there are NO Pedestrians, the speed limit is 60km/h. Not 100k
You're pretty reckless driving on the beach that fast and passing on the sea side. If you put a foot in the water, or swerve to avoid a wave you're toast. It happened to a guy on Muriwai beach a few years ago and the cry babies put more restrictions on the access to Muriwai beach.
Thanks for ur concern but I have driven on the beach alot of times and know not to turn if I'm going at those speeds. Saying that accidents can happen so will keep it in mind next time
Australians coming to North Island in 2024 and I would like to get to Pouto Point. Can you hire a 4WD for a day or two in a nearby town ? This initial part oy the video showed very high dunes, and cliffs where do you enter to access these cliffs? Any help or ideas are gratefully received.
entry to the beach is easy you can enter via Baylys Beach or there is actually road that almost goes to the lighthouse Pouto rd but the sand is a bit softer, not sure about 4x4 hires tho. hope this helps
what tire pressure are you driving with...? looks like everyone drives with normal tire pressure and that's a huge noob mistake... a good rule of thumb is that you can drive with about the same psi as your rim size... when we drive sand we drive with about 18 psi in tire pressure and we don't make the ruts you make... you drive off road thinking it's about speed rather than driving on top of the sand... try 18 psi and don't turn created and drive fast and you will notice a HUGE difference ... Btw grat movie

Kinda agree, please dont wreck it for all of us. Just… relax and have fun!
@@kiwioffroading7111it don't matter how many times you drive a road or off-road , beach or whatever,,shit happens real fast , I know.
All those down town 4x4s just don't have it.

All the gear and no idea! Turns out you can't buy common sense no matter how much cash you have.
What the point of having all the gear if your not going to use it lol and what the fun if you don't get stuck
Steering wheel is on the Wong side
Not for us lol
