With the World Heli Challenge taking place in Wanaka, New Zealand from July 30th to August 8th, Quiksilver Canada sent Chris Rasman, and the newest edition to their team, Matt Belzile, down to compete. There, they joined up with fellow Quik riders Travis Rice, Todd Richards, Brian Fox and Sage Kotsenburg.

Here's what they've been up to and click here if you missed Blog 1. Photos and words by Matt Belzile.

Driving to the coast for some surfing trying to keep up with Travis... he's a mad dog.

Scared for my life...

Travis tries to drive on the beach to find a good break. then finds out his vehicle isn't 4x4...

Deflating the tires saved us...


Then we came across these "things"...


We found a bad ass break! I got tossed but everyone else killed it.


ME, under water getting worked.


We surfed until sun down.

Then Travis and Jake made a fire.
