About Raglan Surf Co.
Raglan Surf Co. is a long-standing surf shop and hire operation in the heart of Raglan, New Zealand, drawing on more than 30 years of local surfing experience on Whaingaroa's famous left-hand point breaks. Sitting on Wainui Road on the road out toward Manu Bay, it is a first stop for visitors chasing the world-class waves that put Raglan on the global surfing map.
The shop runs a full rental fleet covering every ability, from soft-tops and funboards for first-timers to shortboards and longboards for experienced surfers, alongside O'Neill and Billabong wetsuits, bodyboards and roof-rack tie-downs. Boards can be hired for four hours, eight hours, a full day, or by the week, and the team stocks locally made Hughes Surfboards shaped right in Raglan. Group, follow-up and private one-on-one lessons are arranged through their coaching partners for those learning to read the point.
What sets Raglan Surf Co. apart is deep local knowledge — staff know which bay is working on the day's swell and tide, and can point beginners to gentle beach breaks while steering confident surfers toward the points. That combination of a well-kept rental range, homegrown boards and honest local advice makes it a trusted base for anyone surfing Raglan.
