Location
Waikato, New Zealand
Waikato is home to a must visit surf destination, Raglan! Raglan's Manu Bay, Whale Bay and Indicators are 3 of the most famous and high performance left handers in the country. Waikato's west coast location gets very consistent and often big, raw, southwesterly swells that produce great surf. Locals can get protective of these breaks, so know the rules and be careful.
