Tuakopai Stream

The Tuakopai River runs through the Kaimai Ranges in Tauranga, New Zealand. It is a super fun class 4+ river with lots of nice drops and fun slides. It requires heavy amounts of rainfall. Here is a little edit I put from our trip down this river last week, thanks to the boys for a good afternoon:) (Apologies for all the head cam and shitty footage).

 Quote of the day: If you don't like horizon lines your on the wrong river!

Heading North

Otaki beach with Nell & my father

 Surf sessions- too messy for a board;)

 Lake Wanaka paddling

 Surfing the Hawea Wave with Canadian Brenna Kelly

 As much as I will miss the night sky of Wanaka, the Mountains, the rivers, the lake and the people I am stoked to go back up North, now basing out of Mount Manganui
