A Fun, Refreshing Lesson in Sight and Sound

Air New Zealand has a history of creating buzz with its unique in-flight safety videos, having produced 11 installments to date, including collaborations with the movie "The Hobbit" and featuring American comedy actress Betty White.

The latest installment, "Surfing! Surfing! Surfing!," features a dream lineup of surfing world stars, including Japan's top surfer Masatoshi Ohno and big-wave legend Laird Hamilton.

The filming took place at three of the world's most beautiful and iconic surf spots: Malibu in the USA, the Gold Coast in Australia, and Raglan and Piha in New Zealand.

Visiting Piha in New Zealand, Ohno commented, "New Zealand has incredible waves, and its unique culture and atmosphere are refreshingly enjoyable. I highly recommend a trip to New Zealand to all travelers."

By skillfully weaving together messages about safety with footage from these three stunning locations, the airline's initiative significantly contributes to promoting tourism. Whether you surf or not, this video is sure to evoke the feeling of summer's arrival.
