Kina for Christmas a Catch and Cook/Diving Adventure

Kina diving in New Zealand on a rainy Christmas day 🎄🌊
In this episode of Muddy Feet, Quinn (aka Kaimachine) and I head out for a New Zealand freediving adventure on a rainy, overcast day. While the weather is dull and moody, these conditions are some of the most beautiful and peaceful times to be in the ocean, with fewer people around and a raw Kiwi coastal feel.
We spend the day freediving for kina (sea urchin), gathering fresh kina straight from the rocks using safe and sustainable kai gathering practices. Kina diving is a classic Kiwi activity, and this video shows exactly how we collect kina while respecting the ocean and the environment.
After the dive, I finish the day with an epic catch and cook, preparing a simple but delicious kina recipe using freshly harvested sea urchin. From ocean to plate, this is a true New Zealand seafood foraging experience.
If you’re into freediving New Zealand, kina diving, spearfishing NZ, gathering kai, catch and cook videos, or Kiwi Christmas adventures, this video is for you. Whether you’re learning about kina, looking for freediving inspiration, or just love authentic NZ outdoor content, you’ll feel right at home.
Thanks for watching and supporting Muddy Feet 🤙
