PROFILE : Justine Curgenven
1,700 Miles Around New Zealand

Lecture:
(Sunday 19 October - 2pm)
The Adventure Session

Justine Curgenven is an expedition sea-kayaker and an award winning adventure filmmaker, creator of the "This is the Sea" series of sea-kayaking DVDs.

Her expeditions include a solo trip around Iceland's West Fjords, a 650km journey up the Pacific coast of Kamchatka and the first all-female circumnavigation of Tasmania. Justine also represented England in the world surf kayak championships.





In this stunning presentation, Justine will combinel video and photos from her latest and most challenging expedition to date - a 2,400km journey around the South island of New Zealand.

Justine and her partner had multiple capsizes in big surf, enjoyed up-close encounters with penguins, dolphins and albatrosses, and survived a helicopter evacuation. With incredible video footage taken on kayak-mounted cameras, this presentation will be thrilling and fascinating for paddlers and non-kayakers alike. Don't miss it!
