Peak to Break

Four of New Zealand’s top ski and surf personalities have completed a first, travelling the length of the country in five days, skiing a different summit and surfing a different break every day. Coming together for the world record mission were: Kingswood Skis founder Alex Herbert, pro skier Tom Dunbar, pro snowboarder Maria Kuzma, and skier and surfer Angus Kebbell. The ambitious journey saw the group drive, helicopter, ferry, fly, surf, snowboard, and ski the length of the country from Cape Reinga to Bluff. The adventure ended at Colac Bay, where the four surfed amid howling winds, snow, and hail.
