You're listening to the Adventure Sports Podcast.

We talk with adventurers from around the globe to bring you the inspiration and motivation you need to get started in the outdoors or to keep you moving if you're already there.

Now here's your host, Kurt Linville.

Hello friends and welcome to the Adventure Sports podcast. I have Matt Wolf with us today and

Matt is in New Zealand. We were just joking about how it's tomorrow there. So Matt's calling us

from the future and we're going to talk about all sorts of adventure sports in New Zealand, including some lesser-known trails that would be amazing to learn about, skiing, kayaking, mountain climbing, all of the above.

It's not the same in New Zealand as it is in other places, obviously, so I'm excited to find out more about that.

So, Matt, welcome to the Adventure Sports Podcast.

Thank you, Kirk.

Good to be here.

First of all, tell us where you live in New Zealand.

Give us some context.

You're not in a big city, right?

No, so I am calling from a place called Wymite, which translates to Deadwater, and it's about a little further down the South Island, then halfway.

It's halfway between what's known as the Adventure Capital, Queenstown, and the biggest city in the South Island Christchurch.

So it's a bit off the beaten track, and that's a bit of a backwater, I guess.

Oh, that's fun. So what kind of adventures do you have in your neck of the woods?

So where I am, I've got, what is it, five or six ski fields within two and a half hours drive.

I've got a whole lot of little day walks within an hour drive,

and I've got some bigger walks within two hours drive as well.

So I've got everything, really.

Well, you mentioned kayaking earlier.
