Lets all raise our glasses to Ivan Mennim. He’s the guy that makes it all possible to go clear across the world to wakeskate all over the country of New Zealand. This trip was the 3rd installment of Red Bull’s exclusive project they invented for only a handful of invites. This year was entitled “Human Trailers” and was more or less a road trip across the entire country. We carried with us a winch, 6 ipods full of good music, many bottles of vino and good spirit. It is a classic traveling group that is mostly made up of the old broken Cassette team, Brian Grubb and some NZ locals.
This shot was taken at the bottom of the South Island just before we arrived in Queenstown. It’s really hard to describe the vastness and the beauty that the South Island offers. Landscapes like this are around every corner. We had been cramped up in van for 6 hours before this, so when we got out, there was this energy that I cannot describe. Close your eyes, take a deep breath and put yourself there. Or better yet, get on this list for next year’s trip.
