A surf lifesaver and self-confessed "laid-back Kiwi bloke" from the Hibiscus Coast has been revealed as the new Bachelor.

Zac Franich will helm The Bachelor NZ's third season with 19 bachelorettes vying for his heart, it was confirmed tonight.

The 28-year-old might be familiar to sports fans: He's a New Zealand sprint kayaking international representative, a qualified lifeguard and works in sports management at the Orewa Surf Life Saving Club.

Franich said the opportunity to find love on nationwide television was something he couldn't pass up.

"I've always stood by the fact that life should be an adventure and you should take every opportunity you're given," he said.

"When someone offers you the chance to meet beautiful and interesting women, travel the world, and hopefully find love at the end, it was a no-brainer."
