About

Longtime local Ben Connolly is passionate about the Brighton area’s unique environment – its ocean, beach, sandspit, river, and estuary – a truly special part of Christchurch.

It is a wonderful natural and scenic playground for a wide range of fun sports and activities.

You’ll often find Ben in the water, surfing, swimming, or walking along the shores. Ben has raised 4 kids, who also love the ocean life. He is first aid qualified.

When Ben is not at the beach, he likes creative writing: gopukeko.co.nz
