Biking NZ with a surfboard in tow: Johanna Brebner's Mad Surf Story

from Mad Surf Stories podcast · host James Russell

Johanna Brebner is a go-getter. A Kiwi living in Australia, she felt she had some unfinished business with her homeland, and dreamed up the idea of riding the length of the country with her surfboard. She pitched the idea of filming it to Need Essentials who, to their credit, responded with a resounding 'why not?' Five weeks later, she was in Invercargill (Google map it!) purchasing a bike for the journey. Ngā mihi for the chat, Johanna!
