Meet our fearless leader ROCK 🪨
Raglan Surf School was the first surf school to open in New Zealand and our owner Rock has been part of the team since the very beginning. 27 years of instructing and 50 years shredding waves, rock is the father of surfing here in Raglan. He’s also a dad to 2 little girls that have grown up at the surf school and will soon be the next greatest groms. Rock grew up in Raglan and is a big part of the Māori community. He speaks only Te Reo at home with his wife Emily, strengthening local Māoritanga. He’s tough as nails (hence the nickname Rock) with a kind heart and love for his family and community. Rock takes great care of us instructors and makes us all feel like family. Thanks dad we 🫶🏻 you.
