About Ruahine Kayaks
Ruahine Kayaks is owned and operated by fanatical kayaker Tim Taylor. Growing up in the Bay Of Plenty, Tim fell in love with the sport of whitewater slalom at high school. Being trained by some of the best whitewater kayakers in the world, he contributes his success to these early role models and technical grounding .
Returning to Tauranga after study, travel, and life experience, Tim set himself the challenge of becoming the first person to kayak around the whole coastline of New Zealand solo. Nearly 3 years and close to 10’000 kilometers later, he completed his goal and had grown into one of New Zealand’s top ocean kayakers.
As if the whole country wasn't enough, Tim decided to set a Guinness World record. In 2015 he chose the 24 hour, open ocean kayak record. For 24 hours he continuously paddled up the Bay of Plenty coastline, and chased down the existing of 194km to set a new one of 209km. He was so tired by the end he couldn't get out of the kayak...he rolled out and his support team pulled him aboard their boat!
