Welcome to my  journal, documenting my life on the water. Hopefully you’ll find something useful or interesting here, whether you are a local kayaker or a visitor from overseas, new to the sport or an old hand. If you are expecting extreme paddling missions in exotic locations, my adventures are a little more low key. Remember adventures are an important part of life, so pursue your own adventures, big or small and live life to the fullest.

News and Upcoming Highlights

We are now almost at the end of “summer”, the local rivers are very low and the weather has be somewhat less than great, so I still haven’t managed to get out on some whitewater. The club trip list looks pretty sparse as far as nice, easy local trips go, especially if “Gully Laps” or runs on the Tekapo Slalom Course aren’t exactly floating your boat. I’ll still be taking a cautious approach when it comes to group trips and social outings to reduce the risk to vulnerable people in my life from Covid-19, but it will certainly be nice to paddle some whitewater again. Stay safe & I’ll see you on the river.
