This weekend, Jan 7th - 8th, Raglan plays host to the first round of the 2012 Hyundai Longboard Tour. Sitka's own Mischa Davis from Piha will be competing in the Open Womens division and defending her winning title from last years event. Mischa's father Steve "Roachy" Davis will also be competing this weekend making an appearance in the more "refined" classes.
The opening event of the tour brings all the surfers out of the woodwork and the event being held at Raglan will amplifiy this further. Held during the peak summer season the surfers have plenty of beach goers to surf in front of. Raglan is the best venue in New Zealand to watch surfing, with surfers a mere stones throw away from the rocks. Nice summer swells can frequent the West Coast at this time of the year and it is important that all surfers get their campaign off to the best possible start with a good result at the event.
