38 FISHING IN GODZONE MAGAZINE NZ Boat, Fish & Dive Expo Profile ORGANISERS LOVE OF OUTDOORS Mike and Natalie Penn are the duo behind the Expo who lead a team of organisers who are genuinely passionate about New Zealand’s boating, fishing, and diving communities. From the beginning, their vision has been to create more than just a trade show. The event was established as a platform to support the local Kiwi marine industry, to showcase innovative products and services, and help grow public participation in marine recreation. “One of the major attractions this year is the incredible door prize up for grabs, a massive $8,000 fishing gear package from Daiwa New Zealand.” Fishing is a big attraction at the show with many of the top brands present at the two-day show. Mike (on right) is a hunting guide who has several years’ experience of running the popular Sika hunting show.
