The River Boarding Co. launches for summer adventure

The launch of a new name and logo marks a fresh start for The River Boarding Co. (previously known as Mad Dog River Boarding). The adventure tourism operator officially opens for the summer season on October 2 after training sessions and preparations over the past month.

The River Boarding Co. has employed a team of 15 staff, including fully-trained professional guides and a photographer as well as front line and sales people for the 2010/11 season.

Owner Brad McLeod says he’s looking forward to a strong summer season with good forward bookings and a new look in place.

“Our new branding represents the maturity of our product and how seriously we take the activity of river boarding. The team at The River Boarding Co. is fully prepared for the coming season and very much looking forward to pulling on our wetsuits, jumping on our boards and showing people the joy of our river environment,” he said.

“We work hard to deliver a memorable, fun-filled experience to our customers and take pride in being a part of Queenstown’s exciting outdoor adventure appeal.”

The River Boarding Co. takes thrill-seekers on an exciting river boarding experience down the Kawarau Gorge rapids for a unique and exciting adrenaline adventure.

The company operates from the Goldfields Mining Centre in Cromwell and has a booking office on Shotover Street, Queenstown.
