Journal Day 51 - Raglan is awesome.

Raglan.

Up at the crack of dawn to go check out the surf with Doug, Laura, James and Matt in their campervans.
A number of good surf breaks close together at Raglan;
Ngarunui beach, Manu Bay, Whale Bay and Indicators.

Manu Bay is considered to be one of the longest left handers in the world. Consistently seems to break at the point and peel to the left.
Too big and messy at Manu Bay so we went to Ngarunui Beach where it was really messy.
Waves were coming in relentlessly and breaking way out so was constant fight through the whitewater. But good fun anyway.

Guitars lying around in the hostel so in the evening a little jam started up with me and a couple of other backpackers. Turned into a proper sing-song.
Best backpackers hostel I've been to.
