OFF 2 New Zealand !

OFF 2 New Zealand !

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees, a lifelong dream is about to come true 🙂  I’ve kept it secret until now but here are the news guys: Tonite I’m flying out of Perth via Melbourne to Christchurch, New Zealand !!!

The Mission: Photo-Roadtrip with my good kiwi-mate Ian Trafford, THE sickest photographer, who I already had the pleasure working with in the past, check out my portfolio for all published articles, Ian’s photos are  i n s a n e !

The plan is hook up with Ian on the South island and find blindbowing spots to shoot  .  I’m sure New Zealand has so many stunning places. Let’s hold fingers crossed that weather Gods are on our side with wind & sun when Ian and myself explore the ‘last paradise’ in search for the sweetest, sickest spots around 🙂

I will try to keep u in the loop with everything as frequently as possible … it all depends on internet availability along the way.  I will be traveling (and living) in a camper van and once the waves of the south island have been properly shredded, I will take the ferry across to the north island, where some of the World’s best wavespots are located: Raglan and Taranaki, yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah !!!

Can’t wait for this exciting journey 2 start 🙂  …my arm is suuuper blue, in fact getting bluer every day, bruised as from my recent kitemare, when I got a line wrapped around my arm, whilst being heavily washed by some monster-waves out a gnarly wave spot…somebody must have watched over me, how lucky I was the line just suddenly snapped !?

Life’s an adventure –  carper diem !!
More from kiwi-land soon,
