Shapers, Raglan

Welcome to Raglan Longboards, the home of Bear Surfboards NZ and Mickey T custom shapes. Raglan Longboards are New Zealand's finest manufacturers of longboards, hybrids and classic surfboards. All boards are crafted on site at our Raglan premises, to the highest possible standards, using the finest materials available. We make a range of proven stock models or custom shape to the needs of our customers, either through direct consultation with us or through our dealer network.

The shop's humble beginnings were eclipsed by the momentum that the surfboard factory generated. With many of the local board building identities getting involved, it soon established itself as the most progressive board factory in the country, and became a focal point for local and visiting surfers. Johnny Boy, Sunny, Archbold, Occy, and Machado, among others, have all scrawled messages on the glassing room walls, while enjoying the odd beer and a yarn to the whir of the extractor fans.
