Raglan's surf shop since 1992... and home to Hughes Surfboards!
When globetrotting shaper and airbrush maestro Craig Hughes returned to New Zealand in 1987, it wasn't long before he started visiting his old haunt of Raglan. Securing work re-establishing the Town & Country brand, he soon moved with his young family to the then quiet west coast town, and not long after opened the Raglan Surf Co.
