Saturday morning Tom and myself got everything ready for the arrival of Chris and Reno. We took first shots of the boys arrival from Queenstown and Wanaka as they landed into Shane’s garden. In the afternoon we flew out and shot the first location on the west coast, the wind was fairly light but we got some good pictures. Came back and had dinner with Shane and his family at their hanger / house.

We started early today, rigging GoPros on the plane before flying to a braided river location - epic scenery and background. It was very cold with rain showers but the boys kept at it and we also did some downwind shots through the river. That evening we flew 5 mins more up the river and stayed at the overnight hut. Shane flew home to get us supplies and sleeping bags for the night.

More rain. Too much to fly actually, so we drove one hour with the boat to check locations. It was really cold, rainy and light wind but we got a nice short session in overcast conditions. Then went home and afterwards I drove Tom to get his flight. We found out 2 hours after I had dropped him that the weather was too bad for him to fly home.
Aotearoa [aɔˈtɛaɾɔa] is the Maori name for New Zealand.
