Ben Brown Kaituna River, NZ “The Kaituna is by no means the hardest river in the world but its proximity to my home, all year accessibility and the fun vibe off the water make it my favourite. I have paddled the Kaituna countless times and still get excited every time I turn up for more.The pool drop nature of the river and the natural beauty surrounding it make it a favourite to locals and travelling paddlers alike. It is fun at any water level, on any day of the year and I can't wait to get back for more laps!” Photograph: Graeme Murray PADDLERUK 29
