DAY 15-17<br />

ARRIVED AT RAGLAN. I love this place.<br />

Got a site at the Raglan Kopua Holiday Park<br />

– great spot, right in the centre of things.<br />

Watched some kids ripping at the skate bowl<br />

beside the park then headed across to the<br />

Harbour View Hotel for a beer and a meal.<br />

CAUGHT UP WITH MICKEY T AND<br />

SUNNY from Raglan Longboards. Two of the<br />

nicest people you will ever meet and some<br />

of the sexiest boards I have ever seen. The<br />

only problem was, there was no swell. So my<br />

yearning for another Mickey T board full of<br />

magic will have to wait until next trip<br />

CALLED IN TO SEE WALSHY (Robert<br />

Walsh) from Del Surfboards working on a<br />

super sweet single fin. These would have<br />

to be some of the most meticulously crafted<br />

surfboards I have ever seen. The quality of<br />

the glassing is out of this world.<br />
