7.8 Earthquake. We need help not only to get through this summer but to survive the following winter. 100% tourist dependent

Canterbury

Kaikoura Kayaks is a family owned and operated business for the last 18 years.

There is myself Matt and my wife Kim and our three daughters.

Our business is 100% reliant on through traffic to the town of Kaikoura. For now and the foreseeable future SH1 North of Kaikoura to Picton is closed to all traffic. This is going to put a tremendous strain on our business and family life.

This campaign is designed to help us get through the summer and prepare for winter. If you've ever been out on the water with us you know how much fun it is and if you ever thought it was good value please give a little and guarantee we can continue to allow other people to experience what you have experienced.

Kaikoura Kayaks' involvement (page creator)

I am at lifelong family friend and also Matt Foys best friend and his best man at his wedding.

He asked me to sort this out to help alleviate some family and business stress hopefully this will help a little.

We had to cancel our kayaking trip as travel plans changed - not related to the earthquake. We hope the business stays healthy so we can visit in the future.

We visited from Scotland back in July 2011 and had an amazing trip with Matt and Kaikoura Kayaks. Couldn't have asked for a better guide, Matt was lovely and told us all about his family (which was soon to gain a new member!), even took us for a drive. Very happy to hear that the road to Kaikoura is open again - sorry we can't give more but hope you're getting back on your feet and have a great Christmas.
