Raglan Surf Escapes was founded in late 2024 with a mission to share the transformative power of surfing in one of New Zealand’s most iconic surf towns. Established by Juls, a passionate surfer who was drawn to Raglan’s vibrant surf culture, the retreat aims to provide an unforgettable experience that connects people with the ocean, the land, and a community of like-minded individuals.

Originally from the Philippines, Juls discovered her passion for surfing in 2020, and it quickly became a source of joy and happiness. What started as a personal hobby evolved into a shared passion with her partner and a deeper love to the ocean. 

Raglan Surf Escapes offers more than just a surf retreat—it’s an opportunity for personal growth, and discovery. The retreats are designed for everyone, from beginners to seasoned surfers, with a focus on learning, adventure, and making meaningful connections through shared experiences.
