R AGL A N TEEN L A NDS BIG BR E A K AT WOR LD CH A M PIONSHIP TOUR B Y J A N I N E J AC K S O N

Alani Morse in the Raglan Surf Academy room.

E

arning a wildcard for the World Surf League Championship Tour in Raglan is a dream come true about 10 years earlier than expected for 15-year-old Alani Morse.

The Raglan Area School Surf Academy student secured her spot on home turf, winning Queen of the Point on her final wave to make the draw.

“One of my goals was to compete on the CT, and to do it so early in my career is really cool.

I didn’t think it would happen until I was in my 20s, so this is kind of crazy,” Alani says.

Despite the milestone, Alani has her feet firmly planted on her board. Life will continue as usual – alongside surfing, she trains at The Refinery two days a week under Johnny Rickard and two days with Raglan Surfing Academy, while keeping on top of schoolwork.

Those who know Alani weren’t surprised by her win, including her surf academy teacher Larry Fisher.

“Alani had it in her for sure,” he says. “She's got the belief that she could win it, and everyone who’s been supporting and watching her the last few last years knows she's good enough.”

Fellow wildcard Billy Stairmand is also a surf academy alumnus. Founded in 1998 by Dean Hishon, the academy supports students to excel in both school and competitive surfing.

ALL OVER

“We look at the whole package. It's not just surfing that it's going to win it,” Larry says. “Alani needed a lot of physical fitness to get her through all those heats along with smart decision-making – where to sit, staying calm under pressure, and choosing the right manoeuvres. On that final wave, she picked the right turn on the right section to get the points.”

Originally from Auckland, Alani moved to Raglan with her family five years ago. She first jumped on a board as a three-year-old, inspired by her dad.

“My dad surfed and I grew up in a large family of surfers. I'd say, ‘Dad, take me on your board’. I just loved the water.”

women also bring a kind of flow – almost like dancing – that’s still powerful and strong,” she says.

That early start saw Alani competing in the surf for the first time when she was six at the NZ Primary School Champs in Gisborne and she’s always strived to be the best in her chosen sports.

“One of my favorite mottos is if you can improve 10 percent in 10 different areas, then you're a 100 percent better surfer.”

“I was always highly competitive with surfing, athletics, netball and skating. I was a top New Zealand skater when I was 10, so I thought I was going to be a pro skater.”

Alani says female surfers have come a long way and she’s stoked to be part of that progression.

“Men are naturally more powerful, but our women's power surfing is becoming more and more advanced through training hard. I think

RAGLAN

Taking things one step at a time, Alani is focused on refining the small details in her surfing as she prepares for the Tour.

Securing the wildcard has meant putting another comp on the back burner. An invitation to compete at aerial surf competition Stab High at Virginia Beach clashes with the Championship Tour.

“I had to let Stab High go, which was quite a hard thing to do, because I've been wanting to do it so long,” she says.”

But competing here in my hometown is priceless and I am so grateful for the privilege and opportunity.

Looking ahead, Alani has her sights set on the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. “I’m aiming for 2028 and will give it a crack but I don’t want to rush things. I want to enjoy everything – and there’s always 2030 in Brisbane.”

R AGL A N’S NE XT GENER ATION PA DDLE OUT WITH THE PROS B Y J A N I N E J AC K S O N

T

he next wave of Whāingaroa Raglan talent is rolling in, with local groms getting the chance to hang ten alongside some of the world’s best through the World Surf League’s (WSL) Rising Tides and Local Grom Board Caddy programmes.

Supported by the Māori Board Riders and Raglan Point Boardriders, the initiatives are giving young surfers a shot at paddling out with elite athletes and soaking up the buzz of the WSL Championship Tour from the inside.

Twelve of Raglan’s young surf guns have been selected for Rising Tides and will take to the water at Manu Bay during the official practice day on Thursday, May 14, scoring a once-in-a-lifetime session with the pros.

Heemi Ngahere from the Māori Board Riders says both clubs have worked with the WSL organisers to secure places for local surfers, ensuring the next generation gets a taste of world class competition.

“Our young surfers today are so vibrant that they just jump into everything and anything,” Heemi says. “If the doors open for them, we want to put them in there, and WSL has opened this door for them with Rising Tides.”

After taking out the Māori Board Riders Open Men’s comp at the end of last year, 15-year-old local surfer Mako GridelliMuru has earned his spot in the Rising Tides lineup.

“I’m looking forward to getting some experience and catching some waves with the pros,” he says, adding it’s a stepping stone towards his goal of one day competing on the CT circuit.

In total, 30 young Kiwi surfers – 15 boys and 15 girls – will have the opportunity to surf alongside Championship Tour athletes.

From first waves to sharing line-ups with the pros, Rising Tides is designed as a pathway to the sport’s top tier. With more than 19 alumni already stepping up to the Championship Tour, the programme is helping shape surfing’s future.

Meanwhile, local surfers under 14 will get in on the action as board caddies, a key role behind the scenes. These groms will be on hand to manage backup boards and sprint them down the beach when needed – keeping the pro surfers in the game.

For many, it’s not just about carrying boards, but about being part of the energy, learning the ropes, and getting close to the heart of competitive surfing.

HOW TO M A K E IT WOR K: RUNNING A SUR F SCHOOL - WITH WES ROGERS WITH ANNIKA STRICKER

F

rom freezing cold waves in Massachusetts to the long lefts of Raglan. I recently invited Wes Rogers onto my Raglan Community Radio show How to Make It Work, a podcast exploring how people build lives and livelihoods that truly fit them.

As co-owner of Green Wave Surf School, Wes is now helping others catch their first wave.

Q: You grew up surfing in pretty extreme winter conditions, what was that like?

Yeah, it was cold. Proper cold. Five or six mil wetsuits, boots, gloves. Sometimes there was snow on the beach. But it was a great surf community. I’ve got lifelong friends from surfing back there.

Q: What first brought you to Raglan?

Surfing, honestly. Especially as a goofyfooter, Raglan was always one of those places you hear about. I first came here in winter, so I met a lot of local people. It was such a nice introduction to the community.

That’s what brought me back.

Q: You worked for the World Surf League before settling here, how did that come about?

My professor connected me after I graduated. I ended up working as a full-time writer covering events. It was completely remote, so I was travelling and chasing waves myself. Although watching contests for work at 2.00 in the morning was not ideal.

Q: And how did you go from that to running a surf school?

I met the guys who started Green Wave on my first trip here. When I came back in 2017, I just sort of fell into managing it.

Then one of the owners moved on, and I became part of it. It all evolved pretty naturally.

Q: Green Wave is one of New Zealand’s top-rated surf schools; what’s the secret?

Keeping it fun, focusing on the customer, and having good staff. Also, just making sure people are on the right equipment.

That’s a big part of getting them standing up.

Q: What do you love most about the job?

Everyone is so excited to try something new. It is such a good energy, and it reminds you not to take surfing too seriously.

Q: And the World Surf League coming to town, big deal?

It’ll be interesting. Good waves and weather will decide a lot. For me, I’m more excited for the local kids seeing it all happen at their home break.

Catch the full interview on Raglan Community Radio’s How to Make It Work, Mondays at 12:30 pm, or listen anytime via the station’s website, Spotify, or Apple Podcasts.

If you have found an unconventional way to make it work, I’d love to hear from you. Reach out via Instagram @stories. by.annika and be the next guest on my show.

Local lawyers you can count on.

9-TI M E N ATION A L CH A M P SET TO USE HOM ETOWN A DVA NTAGE AT NZ PRO

9-time New Zealand National Champion Billy Stairmand will pull on the CT jersey as a wildcard on home soil this May. Image Credit: WSL chance to compete at home carries a different weight.

The long left-hand point break beneath Mt Karioi is a wave he knows inside out.

Billy has been working towards this level for most of his career. A two-time Olympian and nine-time New Zealand champion, he has spent more than 15 years competing on the Qualifying Series and Challenger Series, often close to breaking through to the Championship Tour.

W

hen the World Surf League Championship Tour arrives in Raglan this May, one of the country’s most accomplished surfers will be paddling out on familiar ground.

Billy Stairmand has secured a wildcard into the New Zealand Pro, putting him in the draw against the world’s best, this time on the wave he knows better than most.

“This is crazy and really surreal for me, and I’ve been pretty emotional since getting the news,” he said.

He may be one of New Zealand’s most decorated surfers, but you’re just as likely to find Billy most days around Raglan playing a round of golf or grabbing a meal in town.

Raised here, Billy’s career has taken him to Olympic competition and events around the world, but the

He first drew international attention in 2011 when he defeated 11-time world champion Kelly Slater at Margaret River.

“I’ve been on the QS and Challenger Series for over 15 years now, knocking on the door of the Championship Tour and have come close a few times. But now, to get that opportunity and for it to be at home, in my backyard and in front of all of my friends, family and community and country, is such a huge honour and privilege.”

spots for the Raglan leg of the World Surf League Championship Tour next month.

“The Championship Tour coming to New Zealand is such a huge opportunity for everyone, not only to compete for a spot in the main event but to see the world’s best up close and in waves they get to surf,” Billy said.

“That does so much for a young aspiring surfer, so this is such a big deal for all New Zealanders.”

For the town, the event is as much about community as competition.

“It’s really exciting that there will be three Kiwis in the event,” Billy said. “Raglan is a beautiful little town with amazing waves, so I’m so stoked to see the world’s best get to experience this place.”

“It’s going to be an amazing experience for all of the community, and I can’t wait.”

Raglan’s point break is a different prospect to most stops on tour, long and technical in places. Billy has spent more than three decades surfing it. That familiarity doesn’t guarantee results, but it gives him an edge when it comes to figuring out the wave.

At 36, Billy is one of the more experienced surfers in the field, but he remains active on the international circuit and continues to perform at a high level. He enters the event with form, experience and a deep understanding of the conditions.

Billy will be one of three New Zealand surfers in the draw, with Taranaki’s Tom Butland and fellow local Raglan surfer Alani Morse also securing wildcard

For locals watching from the hill or the rocks, the storyline is straightforward. Billy will be out there at home taking on the best in the world.

BY ANNIKA STRICKER

fter a wind-blown win at the nationals back in January, Raglan’s Maya Mateja is ready for the world tour at Manu Bay. Even if she won’t be in the draw.

Maya didn’t hear the moment she won. Out the back at Makorori Beach earlier this year, the conditions were messy with the wind howling, and choppy peaks rolling through. “I couldn’t hear anything,” she says. “I just thought, ‘Oh no, I probably did really bad.’”

She had just surfed a tight final at the Nationals north of Gisborne. At 17, Maya bagged her second national crown, scoring a good late wave. She only realised it on the beach. “Everyone was like, ‘Oh, you won,’ and I was just so happy.”

While Maya mainly grew up in Mexico, Raglan is firmly part of home. “My dad is Kiwi and I come here every year,” she says. “It felt really special to represent that side of my family.”

But that same dual identity is what kept her from competing for the WSL wildcard at King and Queen of the Point: Maya represents Mexico internationally.

Growing up between both countries is “like splitting your heart,” she says. After winning her first national title at just 15, both Mexico and New Zealand asked her to represent them internationally. “There was a lot of

thinking, a lot of analysing with my dad, just figuring out where I was going to be based,” she says. “Yeah, it was hard.”

With the world tour about to hit Manu Bay, Maya won’t be in the draw but she’ll be watching closely. “It’s gonna be really cool to see how the pros surf the wave that I’ve surfed many, many times,” she says.

Maya is already cheering from the sidelines. “I am so proud of Alani Mores. She’s only fifteen and she got the wildcard. So amazing.”

THE R AGL A N POINT BOA R DR IDERS

SURF SERIES B RO U G H T TO YOU BY R AG L A N SURF CO

B

efore Bruce Brown put Manu Bay on the worldwide map back in 1966 with the release of The Endless Summer, the Raglan Point Boardriders were already here.

The club was established in 1962/63 by a group of passionate surfers who would go on to be known as ‘The Originals’—the first surfers of Manu Bay. The Point Boardriders, as it’s more commonly known these days, was started as The Hamilton Point Boardriders, because at the time, that’s where the surfers lived. That, of course, very quickly changed.

Manu Bay’s surfable left-hand break was first surfed

by Peter Miller, who would drive from Hamilton to Whale Bay to go out on his 16-foot surf ski. It wasn’t until a fateful day in the late 1950s that the large waves forming around a point on the headland finally caught Peter’s eye, and he stopped his car at the top of Manu Bay to walk down the hill and “give it a go”.

After riding The Point that day, Peter rang another fellow ‘Original’ at the Mount, Chas Lake, with one message, “get here.”

Back then, there was no Surfline, Instagram, or Windy App to check the conditions or predict the swell.

If it was big, Peter would ring the Mount Surf Club from the old Petchell’s Bakery in Raglan, and they would make the 80-mile mad dash from the Mount across the Kaimai Range; what surfers now call a “strike mission”.

Peter Miller would quickly be joined in the lineup by a handful of others, including Mike Court, who would become one of the first ding repairers in the country and the first to secure the Billabong Franchise in New Zealand. They would go on to establish the club together alongside the other Originals. They even successfully shifted a ‘clubhouse’ from Hamilton down to Manu Bay one day so they could store their boards next to the waves.

The Point Boardriders would go on to host their first local contest, The Junior Point Boardriders Competition, in 1964, which a local Raglan guy by the name of Butch Walters would win. The trophy can be found in the Raglan Museum’s Surfing Exhibition alongside the other Point Boardriders trophies and historic boards shaped by the many local shapers who have called Raglan home. As for the clubhouse? It was overrun with rats a few years after the Originals put it out at Manu, so Mike Court burnt it to the ground.

From The Originals, the ones who were the first to surf Manu Bay, to the many shapers who showed up in Raglan through the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s—Don Wilson, Mikey T, Craig Hughes, Marc Camenzind, Ray Finlay, to name a few—to the many members who have gone on to represent Raglan around the country and across the world at competitions and championships, the club has been the backbone of surf culture here.

Club members have gone on to compete in some of the most notable surf contests around the world, from the ISA World Championships all the way to the Olympics. And this month, two of the club members, Billy Stairmand and Alani Morse, will join the top surfers in the world in their bid to take out the WSL’s CT event at Manu Bay. With more kids involved in the club than ever before, The Point Boardriders club days are an opportunity for those kids, their families, and of course the seasoned saltydogs to ride their home break in the same way The Originals did, without the crowds and the worry of getting dropped in on by an out of towner on a soft top… word to the wise: don’t take soft tops to Manu Bay. As the years have gone by, The Raglan Point Boardriders have remained steadfast. While the neverending stream of visiting surfers can feel quite daunting at times, the club and its longstanding history provide a home base and a sense of ownership among the surfers

in the community when they're out in the lineup alongside 40 others.

The Originals couldn’t have known what they were starting back then, when it was just a handful of them out in the waves, or that 60 years on, Manu Bay would be hosting the best surfers on the planet, two of them homegrown.

ARTS S TO R I E S F RO M T H E L O C A L A RT SCENE

ith Raglan Arts Weekend behind him and the World Surf League Championship Tour set to bring global attention back to town, local artist Harrison Synnott has been shifting his focus towards painting outdoors, drawing inspiration directly from the landscape.

Harrison, whose sister is Olympic snowboarder Zoi Sadowski-Synnott, shares a similar connection to the outdoors, though expressed through painting rather than sport. Ahead of a new exhibition opening during the WSL event window, we caught up to see what’s been happening since last year.

What’s been happening in your world since we caught up with you last year prior to Raglan Arts Weekend?

I have been doing art classes, small art blocks about once every couple of months. And I have changed my focus towards the landscape, outdoor painting in particular. Some people I love bought me a great outdoor painting easel for my birthday, and I think it has been the best present I have ever received. Going

LOC A L A RTIST FINDS R HYTH M IN L A NDSC A PE A HE A D OF WSL E X HIBITION outside and painting is often the only painting I feel like doing at the moment.

It is a bit of a meditation for me, being outside, slowing down and observing what is happening in nature.

The art classes are simultaneously a way to condense my thoughts about painting and see if new approaches I have been trying will work with beginners, and I have found that most of the time they do. People are really surprised at what they are capable of. Being born an artist with a paint brush in hand is a myth.

How has living or working in a small town like Raglan shaped your journey as an artist?

I think living in Raglan is so good, firstly, because it is an incredible place.

It’s just such a good fit for me, and I think a lot of people who move here might have that feeling too. The good vibes of the community, the surf, really fill my cup up and give me endless reasons to paint.

Secondly, the Raglan Arts Weekend is an incredible opportunity for us local artists. The fact that people are coming from out of town specifically to see what Raglan artists are doing is so special, and we are really lucky to have that date every year to work towards.

WabiSabi Studio

What’s next for you; any upcoming projects or exhibitions?

I am having an exhibition while the WSL event is on in town from the 15th– 25th of May at the WabiSabi studio behind Atamira.

15th May opening night starts at 5pm, live music kicks off at 6pm with the Sticky Chicken trio. Drinks and food will also be provided.

ith the WSL bringing global attention to Raglan’s waves, the link between art and the outdoors is front of mind.

It is all about the local landscape, being by the water and trying to capture that feeling of being present with nature — certain moments in the day where the colours are specific to that time. 90% of the paintings are painted outdoors on location.

What has inspired this new body of work and how does it differ from your previous exhibition?

For Harrison, that connection is close to home. His sister, Zoi Sadowski-Synnott, has built her career in a different environment, but the thread is similar — time spent outside, reading conditions, and responding to the landscape.

Where and when did surfing begin for you?

I spent a large part of my childhood growing up in the Northern Beaches of Sydney, and I was lucky enough to live right by the beach so I could just walk down and go surfing when I was a kid. I think my parents got me a surf lesson when I was 5, so that was the first time I can remember standing up on a wave. But I got really into it when our house was being renovated and there was a painter who loved to surf after work, and he used to take me out. I think I was about 11 or 12. After that I was hooked.

Your sister is world-famous snowboarder Zoi Sadowski-Synnott, who I know enjoys the surf too. Is this something you connect on?

Yeah, it is. I really appreciate it when we do get the opportunity to go

surfing together, but it doesn’t happen often these days. She has been to Raglan a couple of times to enjoy the surf.

You must be immensely proud of what she has achieved. What qualities growing up did you recognise in her that have perhaps led to her success, and how has her success influenced you?

Absolutely. Our whole family is immensely proud of her. It’s quite strange really that she is kind of famous now. I don’t think I could have ever predicted it when she was really young, pre-snowboarding competitions, other than she was often wanting to do what my brother and I were into, like skating and snowboarding. It is hard to say looking back, but I think she was always driven to keep up with us or be better than us.

That being said, I could be completely wrong about that. Ultimately, I think she just fell in love with snowboarding.

Maybe seeing her incredible success has inspired me to pursue doing what I love as a career path as well. Maybe seeing what is possible when there is potential to live a certain way. I never really thought about her influence on me too much, but no doubt it has worked its way into my unconscious mind.

oinciding with the World Surf League Championship Tour, the Surfelicious Art Show at the Raglan Old School Arts Centre celebrates surf culture and laidback beach vibes.

Running May 15–24 from 1-4pm, emerging and established artists present a wide range of mediums – from mosaics, ceramics, photography and painting to jewellery, beach bags and a hand-painted surfboard – offering a diverse snapshot of vibrant coastal living.

Having taken up mosaics nearly 20 years ago as a hobby, Achilles Botes is now turning his eye to a new medium. That shift has sparked fresh ideas, inspired by his move to Whāingaroa Raglan and his love of surfing.

Working with copper foil, leadlighting and stained glass, Achilles is creating surf

fins designed to shimmer with colour in the sunlight.

“I started using more stained glass for the colour – it feels like a whole different discipline,” he says.

Originally from Wellington, Achilles and his partner Nicole moved to Raglan after years of visiting, drawn first by the surf and then by the slower pace of life.

Like the mosaic work he has honed over the years, this new direction demands precision and patience – and, in Achilles’ case, a drive for perfection.

“I want to make something I can be proud of, so it’s a case of not rushing things – that’s the beauty of this whole process.”

That attention to detail is evident in his intricately assembled longboard flex fin

wo artists, two distinct practices, one shared curiosity.

For Paula Moy, the starting point is always nature then emotion, instinct, and memory form layers in the art works. With a hands-on simplicity, shaping directly with minimal tools, Paula’s process is physical and intuitive. Rolling, slapping, carving the clay, it’s treated like moving parts, elements that will later come to form a piece. Each piece is a balance between structure and spontaneity, the form evolves as she works, then finishing with layers of texture and earthy patinas. The composition must hold together both visually and physically.

Often comprising of multiples pieces woven together with a cord pattern that becomes part of the dialogue, she explores how separate elements can be brought together into a cohesive whole. Often, new forms reveal themselves mid-process, guiding the final outcome.

For Jeannine Friedrich, the process is equally immersive but driven by colour, layering and experimentation. Her work resists easy explanation, having painted

for many years her biggest art lesson is to show no restraint. It is less about outcome and more about the act of making. Paint is poured, moved and built up in layers, creating evolving compositions that respond to instinct and environment. She works across multiple pieces at once, sometimes over years, allowing each to develop in its own time. Materials are unrestricted. Paint, glitter and found elements all contribute to texture, depth and shine. Her practice reflects a fascination with collecting, combining and continuously reworking until the piece feels complete.

Drawn to each other’s contrasting approaches and a shared love of art that inspires contemplation, Paula and Jeannine have come together for an art exhibition that explores both difference and connection. Each artist has responded to the other’s work, applying their own techniques to one shared piece. The result raises an intriguing question. Can two distinct creative languages merge into one?

Visit the exhibition to experience the answer firsthand.

SUR F BOOK GIVE AWAY

EPIC LINE UP IN PL ACE FOR OC TOBER’S R AGL A N A RTS WEEK END

he Local Rag has two copies of Not A Babe by local author Sarah Johnson to give away.

F R O M R A G L A N A RT S W E E K E N D

Set in Raglan, Not A Babe is a young adult novel for teenagers and surf story lovers of all ages. The novel charts the adventures of surfing buddies – Jerri and Frida – as they navigate the challenges of school projects, family secrets and epic surf breaks.

Frida is a sponsored surfer, her eyes firmly on a professional career, but Jerri likes to keep her head down, happy to pass unnoticed. She just about manages, too, until things in the lineup start to get ugly, and she accepts a challenge to surf at a gnarly break down the coast – a decision she quickly comes to regret.

Published in April 2026, Not A Babe is available at Zinnia, the Raglan iHub, Made and other places around town.

so Bistro and Cocktail Lounge here in Raglan is proudly owned by Matt and Rebecca Taggart.

We talk to Rebecca Taggart about Iso Bistro and the hospitality side of providing a great dining establishment to visitors during the WSL event: How would you describe the atmosphere of your space to someone who has never been?

The atmosphere at Iso Bistro is warm, intimate, cosy and inviting — somewhere guests can truly relax. With the glow of the fire and candlelight, plus comfortable seating, it is a space that’s both welcoming and sophisticated, without feeling too formal.

What makes Raglan such a great place to open a restaurant, and are there any real challenges you face?

I think Raglan is a town that has a reputation for creativity, sustainability and community-minded living, which means customers often appreciate places that offer great food with a fun atmosphere, especially in the evenings. We absolutely value the tourism that comes to Raglan, but there’s also our loyal local customers who support our business outside of the peak periods, which is so crucial for our long-term sustainability.

Owning a restaurant in a small beach town comes with real challenges. Seasonal fluctuations, a smaller customer base and the pressure to stay consistent year-round, just to name a few. But it’s incredibly rewarding to create a space where both locals and visitors can come together to enjoy great food, genuine service, fun, laughter and most importantly create good memories around the table. It then becomes more than just a restaurant, it becomes part of the community.

What kind of crowd and energy can people expect during the WSL event?

I think during the WSL event, Iso will draw a lively mix of surfers, visitors and locals, creating a really fun atmosphere.

Expect a high-energy but still relaxed vibe. People coming together after a day in the water for great food, cocktails and good conversation.

Why is your venue the perfect spot for a ‘post surf comp session’ for visitors?

I think because it offers that balance people are looking for — somewhere warm, comfortable and social, without losing the relaxed Raglan vibe. It’s an easy place to transition from the energy of the comp into a laid-back evening with friends or fellow surfers. We are also open seven nights from 3pm.

How would you describe your menu and how do you showcase local ingredients?

Our menu is a real celebration of Raglan’s coast and countryside, with a thoughtful balance of local and international flavours. Some of our local suppliers include the delicious breads from Artisan Bakery and beautiful herbs from Soul Food Farms.

Do you have any special events, DJs or live music planned during May? Yes, we will definitely be providing a mix of local DJs and acoustic evenings in May and will most likely advertise these on our Instagram page, so please follow us and watch this space! :) @isoraglan

A C E L E B R AT I O N O F T H E D I V E R S E & V I B R A N T VO I C E S T H AT MAKE OUR LOCAL FOOD SCENE SO UNIQUE

Delving into the kitchens of passionate home cooks, chatting with local food artisans, and exploring the creations of our local foodies.

To get in touch - recipe feedback, comments, nominating a foodie friend or let us know what you have going on (producers) E: raglanfoodjourneys@gmail.com Tucked into the iconic Dairy Co building on Wallis Street, you will find The Monster Studio, where local ceramics artist Karla Stevenson’s studio blurs the line between gallery and pantry. A place where handmade ceramics sit amongst a curated selection of condiments, cheeses and flavours from near and far. It’s a relaxed space where ceramics, food, and other curious bits and bobs sit side by side.

Karla came to Raglan 25 years ago when her boys were nine months old. “I just loved how strong the sense of community was. With very young babies, I instantly made friends. Some of my best memories are those first five years here, no money, no pressure, just hanging out, sharing food, feeding the babies and ourselves.”

KARLA’S HOT TAKES ON CREATIVITY, FOOD & HUMOUR 1. Don’t be afraid to mix sweet & salty - most of the best things in life live in that overlap.

2. Always add a splash of vinegar — it wakes everything up, clay included.

3. There’s never a bad time for cheese.

4. Being a terrible baker doesn’t make you a bad cook, just bad at following instructions.

5. I’ve always thought food & humour should be added to the love language guide.

Her own food journey began early, and she credits her mum with teaching her the basics. “I decided to go vegetarian when I was about 10 or 11 (not veggo now), and Mum got me my first cookbook—Meals Without Meat

by Alison Holst. I still use it to this day. I basically cooked my way through it, there is lots of butter and cheese, so everything tasted yum as.”

That same instinct to create began just as young.

“Creatively, I’ve always been making things, hanging in the garage with my dad, crafting, making huts and rearranging my room. I always had a project on the go.”

It eventually led her into a career in art. “I studied sculpture straight out of school, then switched to painting because it was more practical when the boys were little, I could work at the kitchen table instead of dealing with big sculptures.”

Years later, her path evolved again. “In 2012, I teamed up with Hayley Hamilton and joined Monster. We worked side by side for over 10 years. About three years ago, Hayley moved into painting full-time, and I took over the pottery business.”

The addition of food to the studio came from both practicality and passion. “Food came into it partly because I love it, but also because my material costs went up a lot after COVID. I had to raise my prices, which meant I didn’t have many lower-cost items anymore. Food felt like a natural addition and it’s been a really fun journey figuring out what the Raglan community wants.”

What began modestly has grown into a thoughtfully stocked selection. “It started with condiments, my fridge at home is probably 60–70% condiments, so that made sense.

My first products were chutneys from Foraged, which are super popular. Then I added a cheese fridge, and now I’ve got Greek, Italian, and Mexican ranges, along with some specialty New Zealand-made products.”

Her days in the studio are fluid, shaped by curiosity rather than routine. “I never get bored, there’s always something to do. Some days I’ll focus on one task, other days I’ll be super distractible and flit from one thing to another. My friend Ayeesha works with me a few days a week and is way more organised than me, so she keeps things ticking along when I’m a gong show. Nothing’s ever too urgent, so I just plonk along and tick things off as I go”.

WITH SHANNON DA R B Y S H I R E

That same openness feeds both her art and her food selection. “With pottery, I love thinking of a specific person or something someone’s going through and making a tile that fits them, especially if it makes them laugh. Hearing people crack up in the shop is one of my favourite things.

With food, I just love flavour. I’ll try anything, there’s not much I don’t enjoy. The overlap is in my domestic ware.

Cheese bowls, platters— things that go perfectly with the food I’m selling.”

Connection happens naturally where art and food combine. “I love chatting with customers, and if they’re interested in something, I’ll often give them a taste, whether it’s cheese or a condiment I’ve got open. Talking about food and seeing people get excited about it gets me excited too. I’ve met some amazing people over the years, people I now call friends. It’s a relaxed space apart from my yappy dog, who’s not always the best for customer service!

But I distract her with treats, same as I do with myself.”

Her philosophy on art, food and life is refreshingly uncomplicated. “Just give it a crack. That’s how I approach life. The worst that can happen is it doesn’t work and who cares? It doesn’t have to be perfect. I think perfection is so overrated, I like being ordinary and not putting too much pressure on myself. If something makes you happy and sparks your creativity, just do it, even if it doesn’t make sense to anyone else. When it comes to food, she says to give things a go; even if something smells a bit weird, it might taste amazing”.

It is fitting advice from someone whose studio resists tidy labels. Part shop, part gallery, part conversation hub, The Monster Studio is a place built on instinct, flavour, humour and heart.

To explore Karla’s work and browse her food selections, visit The Monster Company at 58 Wallis Street, open 7 days, or follow @themonstercompanypottery on social media.

NANA ANNA’S CHICKEN, RICE & COLESLAW

This is my favourite comfort food meal that my mum makes.

It’s got all my favourite flavours, and it can be modified to be vegetarian with tofu too.

Ingredients: 1 kg chicken nibbles 3 tbsp soy sauce ⅓ cup plum jam 4–5 cloves garlic 1½ cups rice ¼ cabbage 2 carrots ½ red onion ¼ cup mayonnaise

Method: 1. Preheat your oven to 180°C. 2. Take your chicken nibbles & pop them into a roasting dish. Add the soy sauce, garlic (crushed or finely chopped) & plum jam. Give everything a good mix so the chicken is nicely coated.

3. Bake for about 45–50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through & sticky on the outside.

4. While the chicken is in the oven, cook your rice. Basmati, jasmine, or whatever rice you fancy will do—just keep it simple.

5. For the coleslaw, finely shred the cabbage & grate the carrots.

Thinly slice the red onion, then toss it all together with the mayonnaise. Give it a good mix & set aside.

6. Once the chicken is ready, serve it up with the rice & coleslaw.

Spoon a little of the cooking juices over the rice for extra flavour.

ogether with Waikato orienteering Karioi is hosting its very first Rugged Rogaine on the 24 May – and it’s shaping up to be a good one.

If you’ve never tried rogaining before, think of it as a giant treasure hunt for all ages. Using a map, you’ll navigate your way around checkpoints, collecting points as you go. The challenge? Maximising your score within your chosen time (2 or 4 hours) – without being late back. It’s not always the fastest or fittest who wins, but those who plan well and work together.

This event is as much about the experience as it is about the competition.

Expect plenty of laughs, a bit of strategy,

and the chance to explore some incredible corners of Mount Karioi – including access to private farmland generously opened up just for this event. The views alone are worth it.

Whether you run, jog or walk, go solo or as a team, everyone can take part – no matter your fitness level. New to navigation? Training can be arranged to get you started.

Even better, this event is a fundraiser for the Karioi Project, meaning your entry fee goes straight back into local conservation.

So grab some friends or bring the family – and come discover Karioi in a whole new way.

DON’T LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR? THE COURTS RULE. LIVE AND LET LIVE.

N

W I T H G I N A J A N S E N L AW Y E R S

ew Zealanders are renowned for loving their “patch of grass” and, in both common law and statute, landowners have legal rights to the quiet enjoyment of their land without interference from a neighbour. Irrespective, neighbour horror stories abound where one neighbour may wrongly perceive his or her rights override those of their neighbour, resulting in clear demarcation and legal interference with an owner’s quiet enjoyment of their land.

Under the law, specifically the Property Law Act, there are many solutions for difficult neighbours, starting with court proceedings to obtain orders and, depending on the interference, significant awards of damages.

One particular neighbour problem involves owners of cross-lease properties who make renovations to the house, for example extensions, additional decks, or the conversion of carports into garages or conservatories, without obtaining the other cross-lease owners’ consent.

This can create a defective title, either because the boundaries of the flats plan have been altered or because the other cross-lease owner(s) withheld their consent.

In Liow v Martelli, the New Zealand Court of Appeal recently re-examined the question of whether consent can be reasonably withheld by a neighbouring cross-lease owner. The upshot is that there is now far less scope for a cross-lease neighbour to frustrate development and/or remediation projects.

Smallfield v Brown, being until now the leading authority in this area of law, found that a neighbour who retrospectively withheld consent to the construction of a deck and access via French doors facing the other owner’s property did have an interest in the alterations, as they could affect light, air, view and appearance, and thus the enjoyment of their property. Consent is only reasonably withheld where the benefit to the party seeking change

will be substantial and produces only a trifling detriment to the neighbour.

However, in the recent Liow case, a small uncovered deck and a larger covered deck were demolished to make way for an increase in the footprint and size of the house, adding a pool, new decking, and removal of a separate garage. The development was undertaken without the neighbour’s consent and, upon application to convert the title to freehold, consent was retrospectively refused by the neighbour.

As lease covenants require arbitration, the arbitrator applied the Smallfield test and found there was more than a trifling detriment to the neighbours, and thus consent was reasonably withheld. Following a hearing in the High Court, the matter was appealed to the Court of Appeal on a point of law. The Court agreed that the Smallfield test was wrong in law.

All cross-lease properties in New Zealand involve lease covenants, and many of these leases are for a term of 999 years. Inevitably, structures will require rebuilding a number of times over the term of the lease, and the Court held it cannot be right that the intention of the alterations covenant in the lease is to preserve structures in the same configuration as they were at the beginning of the crosslease.

Similarly, planning laws and building controls will change over time, along with societal changes in how people live in and use residential properties. The starting point is therefore that cross-lease alterations will not only be desirable, but necessary over the term of the crosslease.

Whether one owner can reasonably withhold consent is ultimately a question of fact, by asking whether a reasonable cross-lease owner, having regard to the interests of all cross-lease owners, can withhold consent.

An individual owner viewing their interests as being harmed, even if reasonable, is not determinative, but is one factor to be weighed in considering whether consent can be reasonably withheld. This assessment should not be fettered by rigid rules.

The overriding approach is that there must be consideration of all cross-lease neighbours in a joint ownership capacity of the fee simple, rather than their individual rights. Regard must be given to each of their interests in order to preserve good relations between owners and recognise that alterations, and even rebuilds, will become necessary over the duration of a cross-lease.

In the words of the Court of Appeal, it is in everyone’s interest to be a good neighbour, give and take, and live and let live.

Now in its ninth year, Fox Cabins has delivered more than 100 custom tiny houses and transportable homes across Aotearoa, many designed to support extended family living, ageing parents or flexible work‑from‑ home arrangements.

Owner Adam Fox says the regulatory shift is a game changer for families wanting to add space without moving house.

“For the first time, people can create a high‑quality, permanent home on their property without the usual cost, delays and complexity,” he says.

“It’s making well‑designed granny flats a genuinely practical option.”

With Licensed Building Practitioners, strong compliance expertise and a focus on thoughtful design, we help homeowners add long‑term value while keeping homes compact, efficient and future‑proof.

At Groundswell, we transform ordinary spaces into high‑performing holiday homes that attract more bookings, command higher nightly rates, and keep guests coming back.

Led by Sarah Hogan, a design expert with extensive experience in vacation rental styling and property optimisation, our team knows exactly how to create spaces that photograph beautifully, feel welcoming, and deliver an exceptional guest experience. From layout planning and furniture selection to brand‑aligned décor and finishing touches, we ensure every detail enhances your property’s value and performance.

Whether you’re preparing a new listing or refreshing an existing one, Groundswell provides the expertise to elevate your home’s appeal— optimising for both financial returns and five‑star reviews. Ready to unlock your property’s full potential? Sarah would love to hear from you.

aglan‑based Fox Cabins is seeing growing interest in ‘Granny Flats’ and small dwellings, following recent changes to New Zealand regulations that now allow for secondary dwellings of up to 70 square metres without full council involvement.

A LL THE AC TION, A LL THE ATMOSPHER E AT THE H A R BOUR VIEW THIS WSL

R

aglan is set for an incredible few weeks with the World Surf League in town, and at the Harbour View Hotel, we’re here to make sure there’s a place for everyone to come together and enjoy it.

We’ll be showing all the action live and on replay across 8 big screens, including our indoor spaces and a 3-metre screen in the garden — so whether you’re following every heat or just dropping in, you won’t miss a moment.

Alongside the surfing, we’ve put together a full live music line-up to keep the energy going day and night.

It’s about creating a space where locals and visitors can connect, relax, and enjoy everything Raglan does best.

And when the competition wraps up, we’re keeping things moving with the awesome energy of "Racing" playing Saturday 23rd — a night we’re really looking forward to also.

With the town set to be busy, local operator Raglan Shuttles will be running throughout, offering group transport and safe rides home, alongside our own courtesy van. Bookings can be made on 0800 825 8159.

We’re proud to be part of the wider Raglan experience during this time — offering great food (recently recognised among New Zealand’s Top 50 gastropubs), genuine hospitality, and a place where people can come together.

We’re here for all the action — and we can’t wait to welcome you.
