Dan Carter has described his experience witnessing Team New Zealand in action up close as "mind blowing".
The All Blacks great announced his retirement from rugby last week, ending a career that spanned 19 seasons.
With more time on his hands, Carter teamed up with Team NZ to jump on their chase boat to get up close and personal with Te Rehutai.
"Yeah it was a magical day out there," Carter said in a video posted on Team NZ's social media channels. "There was some pretty strong winds and the boat was flying. To see that up close in person in the chase boat, it was awesome.
