Along with a classic action flick and an array of giant blow-up ducks, swans and even a unicorn, there was also some good old-fashioned Kiwi ingenuity on display at the first "float-in" movie night at Backpaddock Lakes in Takapau this month.
Among the movie-goers lounging back on blow-up devices watching Point Break on Firefly Cinema's large transportable movie screen, there was one family who decided to bring some home comforts with them, said Backpaddock Lakes owner Trev Rowlands.
"One family assembled a couch on top of their kayaks out on the water.
"It was impressive . . . good to see a bit of Kiwi ingenuity," laughed Rowlands.
A crowd of about 70 people attended the wakeboard and cable-ski water park for the movie night on January 13, which was originally set to be held the previous Saturday night but had to be rescheduled due to a poor weather forecast.
