WIE is located just 40 minutes away from the coastal town of Raglan, well renowned for its mild temperatures, great waves and surfing culture.
With several beaches for both beginners and advanced surfers, Raglan is one of the top surfing destinations in New Zealand, and has the longest left-hand break in the world.
