Jet Boating
Invented in the 1950's by a Kiwi Farmer Bill Hamilton, jet boats were designed to easily navigate the shallow waters of the Canterbury rivers. However someone then realised they could make on hell of a ride for tourists! Flying down canyons missing the rocks by mere centimetres is one hell of a rush.
