BEN

WATERSPORTS GURU / BOSS MAN

Ben is originally from the UK but has called Queenstown home for well over a decade. His energetic zest for life and a love for the outdoors inspired him to create Paddle Queenstown. When he’s not out on the lake you’ll find him……. Well you won’t, he’ll probably be out on the lake fishing, unless he’s skiing or taking his little boy – Otto out on an adventure!

Ben’s Pro Tip: Put your cell phone down and look up around you!

MCKENZIE

ASSISTANT TO THE GURU

Born and bred in the South Island, McKenzie has been lucky enough to call Queenstown home for the past three years. Spending her winters in Wanaka, Mckenzie switches her paddle for a set of skis! If she’s not running around after Ben you’ll probably find her on a roadie with her mates!

Mckenzie’s Pro Tip: Carrying things makes you look busy!
