"For the filming of
the fourth series of internationally successful Surfing the Menu
television series in New Zealand we contacted Marlene Skeet who
was highly recommended to us.
Throughout the preproduction we found her to
be very professional and always to give sound and solid advice.
One of our stars was an accomplished fly fisherman
and he was able to land many good size fish which added to the excitement
of the story and filming.
The second presenter had only once before fly
fished, but under Marlene’s expert eye and tuition he too
landed some great trout and more great footage was filmed. Another
aspect that appealed to us about Marlene was her less macho attitude
to the environment as well as her connection with her Maori culture
which were keenly incorporated into our programme.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Marlene
to anyone for her knowledge, professionalism and her genuine friendly
nature which is encouraging and unfussed at all times."

"But my mind is still in serene Puketitiri
and those rivers and I
Already miss there.
Last night, I actually had a dream of the beautiful trout I caught
And lost at Napier.
It means I experienced a happiness and a regret again.
We really had so sweet days and appreciate your helpful and friendly
Attitude so much.
The story of Maori culture attracted our interest,
And we are sure that all of your advice with fishing certainly raised
Our skill.
We must challenge to fish at Napier again!!!
