From Air to Water


Our adrenaline day was not just taken up with a skydive, Oh no. We also felt it appropriate to blitz around on 100kmph jetboat up the shotover river throwing in 360 spins as we went. Got this done in the morning as a little warm up to get the blood pumping before the dive. The boats can run in just 10cm’s of water and have a solid 7mm aluminum plate on the bottom to skim over the water as it is powered by two v8 jet engines. The driver was nothing short of a nutcase. Getting as close as possible to anything that would wipe the boat out without actually hitting it.

Sat behind the driver to get a view of what he sees, probably just as well because when we got off Nay and Jess told me the guy had been steering the boat with his knees and texting at the same time!!! Nothing quite like living on the bloody edge!
