Give back to our Environment!

We, Jack, Blake, Gabe, are venturing far from our civilised urban comforts into the heart of New Zealand's wildest and most remote places // by kayak // 2-3 weeks // Stewart Island Circumnavigation.

WHY? // In modern day society we forget about the value of the natural world, how powerful and how important it is not only to us, but to millions of other species. Birds, reptiles, fish, insects, plants all share the planet with us, we need to look after OUR world for us all and all those that will be!

DONATIONS // Everything raised will be donated to Forest and Bird, who are battling environmental issues and saving endangered species all over New Zealand. "Nature needs your support,

Supporting Forest & Bird is one of the best things you can do for New Zealand's environment. We need people like you to support us, so that nature will always have a voice." (Forest and Bird n.d.)

WHAT? // We are setting out on Monday the 15th of March, 2021, from Oban, Stewart Island in sea kayaks, (shout out to KayakHQ for support) packed full of 15 days of food, camping gear and emergency equipment to circumnavigate New Zealand's 3rd largest Island. This expedition will take us into some of the countries roughest seas and wildest weather not to mention paddling with great white Sharks and leopard Seals. Camping in rain and wind with sandflies for company. We want to fully immerse ourselves in the natural world that once existed all over New Zealand, to be one with the ecosystem, to share with you all and raise awareness how important it is to plant trees, trap pests, tidy up rubbish and look after our world.

This mission is supported by; Kayak HQ with an amazing Norse Sea kayak, Life Jackets and other kayaking gear, One Square Meal keeping us fed and happy.
