holy crap, raglan is heaven. i got solid overhead surf with the offshores blowing all to myself today. the thing that is extra cool about this place is how consistent it is. it seems that there is always surf here. its like jbay but warmer, with no sharks and much more consistent. o and the people in the water are much nicer. there was a little bit of a lump today from the northerly winds that blew the last few days but it should clean up this afternoon. the town is also super cool and hasnt changed much since the last time i was here five years ago. its just a small little town at the mouth of the harbour with a few places to eat, a few to drink and a surf shop. its also incredibly beautiful with plush green rolling hills all the way to the ocean. it definitely has a certain magic to it.
