NZ Recreation Expo Christchurch
Recreation: The NZ Outdoor Adventure Expo
Pioneer Recreation & Sport Centre | Centennial Park, 75 Lyttelton St, Christchurch.
Entering into its second year of existence the NZ Outdoor Adventure Expo will give you the opportunity to browse a range of products, activities, organisations, and businesses under one roof. It is also the perfect opportunity to pick up some end-of-season winter bargains, or if you're more focussed on the coming summer then there will be expo specials on clothing, tents, equipment, tours, activities and plenty more.
The outdoors is about getting out there and enjoying nature, so the show is not all about new products and financial transactions. During your visit you can rock-climb on 'The Britz Rock Climbing Wall', explore the 'DOC Kids Conservation Corner', listen to presentations in the 'Valde Training Group Speakers Corner' – including special guest Marty Schmidt (International Mountain Guide, Sponsored by Macpac), get your golf skills analysed at the Aiden Berry Coaching Golf Net as part of the Jeff Gray BMW Golf Expo or have a chat and ride the mechanical surfboard with surf legend Doug Young.

Citroen Extreme Race 2010
Low water levels on the Citroen Rapid saw tight racing in the annual extreme race. 2010 saw the debut of 4-way heats and also the new starting platform. The platform sat 4-5 metres above water level and launched four racers at a time into the flow just about the hardest move on the course.
