Raglan is a Station Of The Cross: if you're within driving distance, it is your duty as a surfer to pay homage.
Shadowed by sacred Mt Karioi - a hill shaped uncannily like a sleeping woman - it's a helluva magic place even when tiny and windblown.
This little piece of Waikato coast is also the Good Lord's Number #1 primo place for an apres surf beverage; be it with the backpackers at Manu Bay, or with the locals on the verandah at the Harbourview Pub.
