The world famous Whangamata Beach Hop turns 11 in 2011.  Yes, 2001 until 2011, and we've been taking photos for ten of those eleven years.  The first year, like most of Whangamata, New Zealand, and the World, we had no idea this event was happening either - how things change!

However, thanks to the tireless efforts of Noddy Watts and his team of thousands, this event is now firmly on the events calendar of the car circuit, and is in fact even changing the English language - no longer are custom cars 'hotrods', they are now 'beach-hop cars'!

Click through our extensive collection of photos, arranged into days and events, find your car, and then decide how you're going to get it printed - a plain photo, an 'Anderson Special', onto canvas, on a tee shirt, movie posters, calendars, the options are limited only by your imagination.

At the end of this Beach Hop there'll be pushing 70,000 images online - the most comprehensive coverage of the event in the known world...!
