Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees, a lifelong dream is about to come true \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 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 !!!<\/p>\n

The Mission: Photo-Roadtrip with my good kiwi-mate Ian Trafford, THE sickest photographer<\/a>, who I already had the pleasure working with in the past, check out my portfolio for all published articles, Ian’s photos are\u00a0 i n s a n e !<\/p>\n

The plan is hook up with Ian on the South island and find blindbowing spots to shoot\u00a0 .\u00a0 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 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I will try to keep u in the loop with everything as frequently as possible … it all depends on internet availability along the way.\u00a0 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 !!!<\/p>\n

Can’t wait for this exciting journey 2 start \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 …my arm is suuuper blue, in fact getting bluer every day, bruised as from my recent kitemare<\/a>, 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 !?<\/p>\n

Life’s an adventure –\u00a0 carper diem !!
\nMore from kiwi-land soon,
