on saturday morning 6am chris&me picked up megan, nathalie and jenny and headed down south to raglan. this is one of the best surfing regions on the east coast of the northisland. at raglan surfing school we were taught the basic skills to ride the waves – and then headed on to the beach. really a nice scenery! it is not so easy as it might look like in the telly, but as soon as you’ve caught a wave (or the wave has caught you *g*) and you’ve paddled fast enough – you should ‚just‘ stand on you bord an ride it. sounds easy, eh? it’s awesome! although we only surfed in for about 3hours (in about 1metre deep water), we were able to catch many waves and had a lot of fun!
