Christchurch Rugby and Surfing in New Zealand

Rugby and Surfing in Christchurch New Zealand
We've been doing SO MUCH on The South Island of New Zealand
Who we rented the van from and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND:
Deon [e-mail]
We started off at Castle Hill which the Dalai Lama called the "Spiritual Capital of the Universe!"
Then we wanted to do Avalanche Peak Hike in Arthurs Pass, but it was too rainy so we headed over to Christchurch.
In Christchurch we went on a long seaside walk to Taylors Mistake, we stayed with with friends of a friends (the best kind) and I went to a market, Seth went surfing at Sumner Beach, and we went to a Crusaders v Stormers rugby game!!
After Christchurch we headed to Lake Pukaki and met up with an old friend and met new friends!

[@francescadiana]

I stopped eating and sleeping to watch them all. And hands down that's my absolute favorite things to do.

[@saigonleigh]

[@RobDeHaven]

Seth did an awesome job surfing for his first time! Killed it bro! @7:22 Seth's face and his reaction OMG ROFL. The best reaction face I've seen in awhile. Then Lake Pukaki when I first heard you say it, did NOT sound like you were saying a "P". Then I listed again and heard it correctly after getting my brain out of the gutter LOL. Loved the video Shayla! New Zealand is beautiful.

[@heyshayla]

Hahahahahahah this is great!

[@TodayMaybeTomorrow]

Great videos, funny stuff with your sister. I'm a kiwi and you've literally seen more of my country than I have lol.

[@UceLui03]

Hope you two enjoyed chch

[@karolineniles623]

Best tip for treating sandfly bites: Keep.them.cool. If they get hot they'll itch like fire. The West Coast has the most sandflies so stay covered! Chur!

[@ricardow7224]

Your channel is great. New sub. I am a Kiwi living overseas so your trip around is good to see and cracks me up. Have you heard the phrase "sweet as" in NZ?

[@heyshayla]

Yay! Nz is at the top of my list now. Yes!! So hilarious!

[@honeysoy7020]

(I’m from Christchurch) I went to castle hill way to many times for school and there’s this caving thing not to far from castle hill it’s a pretty fun experience but I do recommend being careful and go the right way XD

[@heyshayla]

It was beautiful!!

[@tessa_traverses]

I like the new format with all the different views! Very nice! *thumbs up emoji*.....cause I'm on my computer and its too old to know what emojis are.

[@heyshayla]

Hahaha good I’m glad you like it!

[@jianoconnor8414]

Pukaki allright :)

[@siennamcbratney8399]

you went to sumner i go there all the time!

[@heyshayla]

Haha yeah!! It was great

[@BucketLife]

I like the vlog style

[@heyshayla]

Thanks for the response!

[@mountainconstructions]

5:13 coming from someone that has surfed his entire life, that is probably the best i have ever seen anyone surf on their first day. Natural stance, good style, if he spent season surfing, he would rip.

[@heyshayla]

Oh man! He’s going to be stoked to hear it!

[@mountainconstructions]

Not even blowing smoke I live at the beach in Australia, surfing was taught at our school. Spent my teenage years competitive surfing, now walk my local beach watch people learn to surf in those classes, i stop to watch at times. And i'm telling you now, your partner really has a natural balance and stance and can read the waves... He has the right attack attitude for surfing... You really should get him on a board again, and on a proper fibreglass board, those soft surfboards are actually quite hard to ride as the flex and bend.

[@amyturner6275]

I live a few hours away from castle hill and been there lots I never knew that about being the spiritual capital lol its just little old castle hill to me :P

[@heyshayla]

Haha or was pretty awesome!

[@classicjonesy]

Loved the video drone footage was great lol Seth needs more screen time 😂😂

[@heyshayla]

Haha he likes his mini cameos but we'll see!

[@thegregbekkers]

Love New Zealand, used to live there and so beautiful! Just subscribed, I got a travel channel too and you've given me some good ideas. Thanks!

[@heyshayla]

Awesome!! It’s amazing here!

[@lenatamura2811]

OMG, you passed through Geraldine to get to Lake Pukaki? Ahhh, that's where I go to school that's so cool that you went passed!

[@heyshayla]

🙌🙌🙌

[@rockerctereo2851]

Churrrrr sweet az Surf Seth

[@heyshayla]

Hahah 🙌🙌🙌 he did great!

[@naph67]

omg comparing rugby players to cheerleaders...that is awesome.

[@patricklindsay9243]

It is called a line out

[@Tuumanakongahererau]

If your in New zealand again might wanna check out Lake Takapo and Quails Island,

[@heyshayla]

Good to know thank you!!

[@sailorman8668]

If you're going to make suggestions about locations to visit, at least get the spelling correct. Lake Tekapo Quail Island

[@davidkernaghan2918]

Poor mouse. He's so lost now. LMAO!! Glad you guys are having a great time.

[@heyshayla]

Poor mouse! I do hope Ralph is okay! Lol

[@davidkernaghan2918]

Living On A One Way pour one out for our homie Ralph! Haha

[@kekem823]

You went surfing where I live!!!!

[@heyshayla]

It was so great!!

[@ieatbricks2]

heyyy! i climbed avalanche peak for my school camp when i was 10! edit: just realised i was AT THAT RUGBY GAME! i went with my cousins, crusaders 4 lifeeeee

[@claz5822]

Wow this got put on my recommended today. You guys should have gone and looked at the old broken churches from the earthquake

[@chloe298]

Love your New Zealand videos. Silly question, do you need a permit to fly a done in the country?

[@lucyrulez1000]

Lol I was at that rugby game, there was more than one streaker and they came from the uni stands 😂😂

[@heyshayla]

Omg we loved it 😂😂😂

[@mariaradeva4497]

You're very brave and look like you don't have a care in the world. I love that 😁😁😁

[@heyshayla]

Yeah I totally have fears but I just do it anyway! Thank you!

[@hamfish225]

awesome hope you're having fun! remember to take your rubbish with you!

[@lucydrury1042]

I went to that rugby game!

[@heyshayla]

It was amazing!! !

[@progaming8384]

I live in new Zealand that's a line out in rugby

[@_Spectre]

Just stumbled upon your channel, cool vids. I live in Christchurch, and though you don't seem to have seen a huge amount of what's here, you make it look great. Good choice going to Taylor's and Sumner beaches, New Brighton is a broken shit hole. On that note, I'm wonder what your thoughts are from the perspective of a foreigner seeing a previously very broken city rebuilding after natural disasters?

[@tearohahesketh7813]

I live in nz at tapia.:-)

[@livvycalderwood4171]

I'm from Christchurch and the best time to come to New Zealand is December through to January otherwise you hit cold weather haha

[@heyshayla]

I love the cold!

[@greggronemeier1256]

Glad that is was a mouse and not a bear !

[@heyshayla]

Me toooooo!!!

[@joshuanimmo7823]

Hahaha we dont have natural predators in NZ! It's pretty sick

[@zoehodder8292]

don't be so soocky about rain!=)

[@Livingeidolon]

Man, Seth was looking good out there catching waves, he didn't need to be embarrassed! Edit: I think New Zealand is now on my bucket list!

[@heyshayla]

He’d just never done it, but he totally got it!

[@Livingeidolon]

Living On A One Way well I wish I could take to something I just learned like he did, man!

[@cuppyn]

That mouse was straight tryin to step

[@heyshayla]

Hahah and you would have straight stepped on him!

[@tippersteffi1]

Great video, are you going to checkout Queenstown?

[@heyshayla]

Yeah we’re in wanaka now Queenstown is next!

[@gracecater5480]

i lovw how he was scard of sharks but there are none in chch cause its to cold

[@heyshayla]

That’s what everyone told him!

[@ahorsewithnoname643]

Sharks are all around the NZ coast. Tiger and bull sharks prefer warmer water than we have but Great Whites and Mako are not that rare.

[@jianoconnor8414]

I'm from Chich chich ! :)

[@singedwaffles]

ayy lmao in the learn to surf clip I can see my house

[@bruceleenzl]

Nzl tourism board needs to hire yall as ambassadors 😂

[@lsmeteor4652]

Rugby players look like cheerleaders?? Haha that’s funny. Now I cannot unsee the image, but wait until you far away from New Zealand before saying it out loud again lol.

[@heyshayla]

Hahaha right? Seth had already had the NZ Rugby v American football debate! 😂

[@Nzhomebusinesses]

American Football is like watching paint dry.

[@djToniTontonNewZealand]

haha that's the maori wave bro both eye brows up, flick head back

[@honeysoy7020]

Omg Taylor’s mistake my group went there at 10pm at night while our leader left us randomly to go to the van to check our other leader would recommend don’t leave teenaged alone walking our way back to the meeting spot it gets pretty reckless XD

[@zackatk77]

Way to shred the waves Seth! 🌊 I'm glad you're enjoying your time in New Zealand. I think the "cheerleaders" are called flyers in rugby. One of my friends played in high school and was the one that got lifted.

[@heyshayla]

It was pretty cool! Haha

[@zackatk77]

Living On A One Way It looked like fun. Any event that gets your blood pumping [or someone's clothes off] is usually a good time. 😂😂

[@smfc1622]

Zack Attack I don’t think they are called flyers lmao

[@zackatk77]

FC ULTIMATEC Probably not. Hahaha! I think I'm mixing a cheerleading term with rugby.

[@Tom-rust]

They're called locks, usually the tall bulky guys

[@CoachMeeeesh]

You should got to a netball game!

[@heyshayla]

I don’t even know what that is!!

[@CoachMeeeesh]

Haha not many people do! It's probably the 2nd most popular game out in NZ (behind Rugby). Like basketball and handball in one sport. New Zealand is 2nd in the world for the sport of Netball!

[@ProAndSo]

Noone watches netball. Cricket is our number 2 sport.

[@CoachMeeeesh]

Well maybe you don't. I meant female sport, Netball is either 1 or 2

[@katiebeauchamp3946]

I was wondering how you find vehicles to buy when your traveling? And do you sell them before you leave again? I'm thinking I'll need to buy one when I study in NZ but I'm worried about not being able to sell it when it's time to go back home!!

[@heyshayla]

I rented, but there are backpack pages on Facebook you should search!

[@katiebeauchamp3946]

ok, thank you!

[@fionadelfosse5443]

What kind of drone do you fly? Also, did you have any trouble flying it in NZ? I've been looking into the rules & regs and they seem crazy restrictive. I'm planning on going to NZ in July-ish and I would love to take some drone footage but I'm scared to buy a good drone and haul it all the way down there only to not be able to fly it. What would you recommend?

[@heyshayla]

We flew the phantom 4 standard. We could in some places and not in others, just had to watch for the signs

[@jasmineward2633]

Fiona Delfosse for the most part flying drones in towns is out of bounds due to there being flight paths of most major airports but if your out side of town your ok just be careful of planes still as people have private airfields and there a public ones around for small planes

[@ThemDotcomBoyz]

The one person who disliked this (I know your Australian) please un dislike this video and can we all just get along lol

[@heyshayla]

Bahaha

[@hawaikitauru6049]

There aren't any sharks in nz and i went to that beach and that stadium because I live in nz

[@heyshayla]

It was so fun!

[@waahaah861]

there defiantly sharks in New Zealand. I live here and see them all the time when fishing.

[@kirbz5667]

At the beginning of the video, I thought it said Moose instead of Mouse, I was like WTF HOW DID A MOOSE GET IN YOUR VAN?!?!

[@heyshayla]

hahahahaha

[@jianoconnor8414]

You're funny :)

[@subculturenz]

antihistamine tablets is my Kiwi Sandfly tip.

[@heyshayla]

Omg! 😂😂😂

[@subculturenz]

Also don't camp or stay by water at dusk or sit in shade by bodies of water when it's sunny and buy "Bushmans" insect repellent if you are not committed to the antihistamine solution.

[@DakkaDakkaDakkaWaagh]

as a kiwi your videos are hilarious

[@heyshayla]

SOOO good to hear!! I'm so stoked kiwis are enjoying it, thats super awesome!

[@DakkaDakkaDakkaWaagh]

Living On A One Way woah you replied!! I'm glad you had so much fun in our country!!! Btw the play that they do where they look like cheerleaders is called a lineout! I'm not sure what it is like in American football but think of it like in soccer and they have a throw in it's basically that

[@rachelp276]

Can you please do a video of how to get into helping at refugees etc?!

[@heyshayla]

Search for groups in Athens on Facebook. Or send happy caravan in lamia an email :)

[@markshepherd3017]

Cheerleaders?! Stick with Seth's advice. You're doing a lot of stuff and having fun. South island and rain go hand in hand. Land of the long white cloud ring a bell?

[@heyshayla]

Haha I know I shouldn’t have said cheerleaders! We just heard this today!

[@markshepherd3017]

If you guys wanna get a glimpse into Kiwi's watch Flight of the Conchords.

[@OHIOspikey]

Thanks for letting the mouse go. I think mice are good luck :)

[@heyshayla]

Do you?! Well I’m glad we did!

[@heyshayla]

Hahaha okay

[@lucy-xr4tu]

That's not true it it is not good for nz wild life

[@sircrunchy4297]

You go through Ashburton?

[@heyshayla]

We didn’t..

[@samreid2220]

U mean lake tekapo, thats not how u say it is tek-a-po

[@Jay-hr3rh]

How much caffeine do u have?

[@heyshayla]

All of it!

[@celestechapel5112]

Opp

[@sdgoes99]

Don’t call the Rugby players cheerleaders. 😀

[@saltyspaceman5697]

Introduced mice eat NZ's native, unique and often endangered insects and reptiles......next time don't let it go!

[@heyshayla]

WHOOPS!

[@loooseunit]

Your "mouse" looked more like a bush Rat .

[@magicmike6961]

you should have gone to the south island in January, the weather is awesome and its really great. trump 2020
