Ex West Aucklander here. We used to surf this place a lot. Sometimes, since the boards were always in the car, on a Friday night, party in town and just drive straight there afterward. A couple of hours sleep in the car park and then there was us waiting on the jump rock waiting for it to get light enough to paddle out to indicators, first ones out. One of the best surfs ever was actually one of the tiniest days. The year was 1991 and there was a music festival in Raglan on a Saturday night. On Sunday afternoon it was still and smooth and the light was golden. It actually looked flat from the car park and was quite hard to see for the glare. Most people were way too hungover to even consider it. Over at indicators these small perfect lefts about shoulder height would come through every few minutes and fire off for 100 meters. Got so many waves. It was like magic.
I surfed Indicators on my honeymoon in 2000. There was quite a crew out there and they have that spot dialed in, can't take off 3 feet deeper or you won't make it. The few waves I did get were fantastic, until I snapped the fins off my board with my ass on a wipeout.
Nice work, epic drone shots. Not too many guys out, looks fun 🤙🤙

Raglan is a spectacular set up. If you're a goofy-foot, it's like heaven on Earth. No wonder travelling Kiwis always come home.

Nice point break
That looks EXACTLY like a spot here in SoCal.
The inside beachie must be absolutely going Puerto Escondido.

Coliseums 👀
Friendly locals, all welcome.
Sounds like a tui billboard
You could have made this even less interesting by showing the waves from space.
