Britt Spencer is the first person to cross the Cook Strait on a prone paddle board. She shares about her journey getting into surf life saving, her deep love of the sport and how she has competed at an international level. Despite the Cook Strait being notoriously dangerous and previous health challenges, Britt decided she wanted to attempt a crossing between the North and South island. Her community rallied around her, supporting her goal through the training, logistics and providing safety during the crossing. Britt talks about emotions she felt on the day, from the physical challenges to the high of completion. She shares awesome advice for anyone else working towards a huge goal that may feel unreachable. KEA Outdoors is a kiwi brand, building great gear that you need to be fully prepared.
