Friends Ryan Harris and Hayden Korte-moore came to hang in Queenstown while venturing in New Zealand. Went out kayaking and showing them some of our Backyard.

Got three covers of Waves and Woods Magazine in the last year, back to back issues 33 & 34 and Issue 27. Absolutely stoked to get my hands on the magazine and see them in person. Its always so rewarding to see images printed in physical form but to know its going around the world on the cover

Will and Bear partnered with Drizabone to collaborate with for a summer release. Loz gave me a call, they were coming over to New Zealand to shoot the collab campaign and video. I was pretty excited for another trip
The first time with Will and Bear, we actually kicked off on such an amazing note. So many interests that we had in common. Anything vintage, tiny homes, the outdoors, living on the road, surfing, adventures. A spontaneous moment I invited Alex overseas for lad's trip. He said it was exactly what he needed.
Every time Jess comes over to New Zealand it’s always fun taking Jess on adventures around Queenstown. Showing her some of my favourite spots growing up, from hidden lakes and hikes. Best of all seeing her begin to call Queenstown home.
