Can't beat it ... the place is massive compared to when I was there but it's still got the right attitude, mainly because Phill is so relatively free of ego and B/S and who's actually been there and done that.
That plus the fact that Mt Maunganui is the coolest town in NZ to live & train in. Fly all day, surf / shag / party / lay on the beach all weekend - can't do THAT in Papakura! I recommend it to anyone
