Redz NZ Journey It is my inner desire to paddle around New Zealand. I have dreamt of doing this all my life, you could say it is on my “bucket list”
When I share this dream with others their normal response is, “ARE YOU MAD?”
Maybe a little!.. some people will understand, some will not. This is just a personal journey, not a race, not to beat others. I have so much admiration those who have completed this trip they truly are awe inspiring.

Overseas Kayakers’ Blogs
Kayak Down Under NZ 2010-11 Jaime Sharp & Dave Briggs were to paddle from North Cape to Stewart Island but didn’t start until January, halfway through the season. They got as far as Wellington.
It is interesting to note that Tara Mulvany started her circumnavigation of the South Island at the “end” of the kayaking season (winter) and then did the North Island during the supposed kayaking season (summer).
