On Sunday, during the Corona Cero New Zealand Pro, we teamed up with Billabong to host the NZ premiere of MERGE alongside an epic in-store team signing at Raglan Surf Co.

The line was stacked down the block before doors even opened, with heaps of people turning out to meet the Billabong crew including Ethan Ewing, Seth Moniz, Luana Silva, Brodi Sale and more.

We had pizza flowing from Piacé, popcorn from Big Poppa's Popcorn Kettle Corn, and snackables from Raglan Food Co., plus giveaway bags for the early crowd, lucky door prizes, and to top it all off, Billabong surprised everyone with a ticket entry to win one of Ethan’s surfboards!

Huge thanks to everyone who came through and brought the energy. The shop was packed, the movie went off, and it was such a good way to wrap up a massive weekend of surfing in Whāingaroa.
