Exploring the thermal wonderland of Lake Rotomahana in the rubber duck. I think it’s safe to say Tom was a little excited. taken in Lake Rotomahana by @john_colthorpe

This piece of coastline holds a special place with me, so putting together a stunning shoot with @icebreakernz was one to remember. Ticked our way through a huge range of garments whilst ripping through the 13KM / 640M route to Homunga Bay. No big team here just my epic talent lugging the clothes and I lugged the gear, a solid mission! taken in Homunga Beach by @john_colthorpe

"It's a very labour intensive process but it's the right way to do things.

Forever referencing the ruler back and forth and using a paring chisel rather than a sander. Because of the way the blade leaves the grain of the timber, it’s forced it over making it ever so slightly water resistant. A sander, under a microscope, has fluffed things up, the grain is upright and acting like a sponge.”

180 HP at one wheel is a fair amount of pull! Luckily @gmracing51 knows how to tame his 1290 Super Duke beast. It was a pleasure to tour the Coromandel loop together and put together a few assets for @ridekriega to prove that the bags can definitely hold on! 🍊🏇💨 taken in Coromandel, New Zealand by @john_colthorpe
