new address

Made a new name for the site, hopefully no double ups this time around.

name change..

well was randomly surfing the web and i found fall-line media as a name already exists. They also just like me are outdoors people they actually publish stuff too. Three magazines even skiiing, snowboarding and outdoors.

Hence i'll change my site address sometime. you'll notice the change of blog title.

Made it to LA

Finally i've completed the 1st major part of my trip to Costa Rica. I arrived this morning (April 26th) at LAX. The flight from Auckland to LA was drawn out and tiring. A 2hour stop over in Tahiti broke up the flight thankfully.

I am now in a dormitory at the University of Southern California. Im staying with my friend Sarah who was in Costa Rica with me last time around. I've spent today wandering out the university, even attended an anthropology lecture. Then walked down to south central LA slight change in scene. Have another friend Abby who lives there. Went to a film school short movie night before, Abby was staring in one of the films. Then headed out for a feed of dirty mexican.
Sleep wise im quite had it, the plane trip allowed me to have around 3 hours total sleep.

Next post should be from somewhere in Costa Rica. Filled with photos as I purchased a digital camera when I was in Auckland. Can't wait to get on some rock or a river....

4 Days in Queenstown

Easter weekend: Typically Central Otago sees an influx of tourists for Warbirds of Wanaka, the Race to the Sky & Scenic Autumn views. A few friends and I had water on our minds.
On sunday Robin Scott and myself ran both Citreon (G4)and Roaring Meg (G3) on the Kawarau, before meeting up with Blake Reid, Shanan Miles & Tim Brady for a run down Nevis Bluff (G6-???).
Sunday night saw some rain which meant the upper shotover (G2+) was flowing for some quality playboating. Our crew had grown to now include sundays photographer Megan Foster.
Chilly temperatures mixed with serene views in Skippers Canyon meant it was an awesome day. Monday night saw Shanan, Tim & Blake head to Milford for more boating, leaving Megan, Robin and I to see what was on the next day.
Tuesday started with car issues for Robin. No more 4wd... still worked though. Go the mighty subarus. Robin and I went for surf at the Dolittle Wave on the Dog Leg Section (G3+) of the Kawarau. Wednesday and the upper shotover was back in for Megan & I, now joined by Mark and Johnny from Invercargill. .

First Post

This is the first post of quite possibly many. Each post updating info on adventures around New Zealand and the world. The 2nd post will be made later today containing photos of 4 days of Queenstown Kayaking from Easter weekend.

Over the next 3 months sporadic updates will have photos and possibly even video links from Central America. Thats right the Fall-Line team (i.e me) is travelling to Costa Rica in search of good times, good shots & good stories.

Check back for the tales of sun, sand, rock, water, beer, tequila, mountains & valleys.
