Sony Xplod Beach Hop 2012

The Whangamata Beach Hop has been going for about 12 years now and has grown from a 6,000 person Rock and Roll 1-day Festival to a 100,000+ (Estimated) person Festival.

This is ABTEC‘s and Carshows second year of hosting the photos for the festival on behalf of SONY NZ. And we are very happy to do so, because who doesn’t like Old School Muscle cars!

I could write up on how amazing “The Hop” is because I have attended three of them myself in the last ten years but will leave that for the people over at Beach Hop. I will suggest that if you get a chance to go to a Beach Hop to do so and I guarantee you will have a amazing time.

I have spent what most likely is to-much company time drooling over the cars from this years Beach Hop on Carshows so have decided I’ll put up a few to wet your appetite.

My Favourite Group shot

And to tie it off a photo of some kid (looking happy as) with the Sony Beach Hop girls

And how could he not be happy, he’s got himself a PS3 with GT5 and surrounded in girls. In my opinion that is most teenage boys dream!
