Adventure sport

Up to 80 teams are expected to enter the 2010 TrustPower Adventure Quest, in its eighth year, in Queenstown on Saturday.

Most people avoid storms, but one Queenstown man spent about a month recently actively chasing them with two keen Australian surfers to film their adventures for the Discovery Channel.

White caps on Lake Dunstan added extra excitement for competitors in the South Island secondary schools adventure racing championships at the weekend.

The endurance race around Central Otago on Saturday attracted 23 teams and all 92 competitors completed the event, organiser Bill Godsall said.
