Taupo Bungy

Cactus Climbing Equipment

Posted by isurvived, Sunday 06 May, 2012

So it has come to that time of year, wind, hail, rain, SNOW, and shine, when we are lucky. Most of our crew have the awesome job of working outside, during the summer this is great we have the river which we swim in when it is unbearably hot or our platform crew have a quick dip in the Waikato River off the winch rope. During the winter time, our team cosy up in our warm heated rooms.

Until we are needed and required to do some real work. When someone has chosen to have the experience of a life time we cruise out into the cold wrapped from head to toe.

And yes with that wind off the amazing mountains and the largest lake in New Zealand that wind is COLD! So what do the bungy crew rely on to keep warm! Only the best that NEW ZEALAND can supply, the Cactus Super trousers!!

There quick drying, heavy duty, breathable and reliable for us on crew, we wear them every day at work and we are on our second winter with the same pair. They say “they wear in, not wear out” well we will defiantly put them to the test.

TAUPO BUNGY!

Hello Summer, is that you?

Alright guys, we have been a little quiet around here lately, perhaps we are still recovering from the All Blacks awesome effort over RWC, but it would seem that the mercury is finally starting to rise, cue summer, cue bungy and swing madness, it’s all on!

Now we’re a pretty lucky bunch here in Taupo, we’ve got the biggest and possibly the best (yes, we are biased) watering hole in New Zealand. Thousands of kiwis flock to the glassy shores of Lake Taupo every summer to splash about and cool off.

But while we’re all quick to dive head first into the cool waters of the Great Lake, there are other means by which to cool off, and by that we mean New Zealand’s highest water touch bungy.

Heard about it, thought about it, but something’s stopped you from taking the plunge? Well we think you guys are finally out of excuses. What better time to take the leap than on a scorching hot Kiwi summer day. Guys feel free to ditch the tee and girls if you’re that way inclined, go for it, our crew don’t mind, especially you aye Courtney?

While you’re about to go the whole hog you may want to consider joining the Sole Club. This club is seriously exclusive and only for those brave enough to dive into the water all the way down to the soles of their feet.

It’s only for the hard core and does take a fair amount of precision from our super sharp Jump Masters, but if you’re game, we’re game.

Bungy not your thing? No problem, become a swinger. The Taupo Cliffhanger is the ultimate swing experience, packed full of stomach-dropping adrenaline, screams, excitement and more buzz than you can shake a stick at & while we’re on the topic, Happy 2^nd Birthday Taupo Cliffhanger.

Those of you who just like to watch other people bungy or swing, (cough cough scardy cats) have we got something for you. Instead of craning your neck over the platform watching your mates do their thing, jump in front of our awesome new green screen and “Fake It”.

Why should the loyal spectators miss out on all the fun? Jump in front of the Fake It screen and act out ‘til your little heart’s content then send the pictures to family and friends showing them just how brave and awesome you really are.

There’s also some pretty cool stuff happening here at Taupo Bungy in 2012, so you’re definitely going to want to keep checking in. We’re not giving anything away yet, but let us tell you this; it’s BIG!

Its warming up!

As the wonderful season of summer is approaching, new ideas are coming to light of how the crew of bungy will be entertaining ourselves. One of our newest Jump-masters, Dylan is purchasing a jet ski, and using it to get to work… from Whanganui Bay he will jet ski across the lake, build a jump over the control gates and park right by the recovery hut.

A large percentage of the crew are getting into longboarding in a big way, with a few new boards bought which are creating big grins. Hopefully these grins will still have all their teeth by the end of the summer!

Our handy I.T/Jump-master/ all time g.c George has taken up the hobby of prank calling and re-ajusting Dylan and Doughboys Sky satellite.

BBQs, beats, and all round bodacious times are foreseen in the near future for the Bungy, hope to see you all here!
