- Skipping class and surfing go hand and hand. It's a common story that varies lightly from culture to culture and surfer to surfer. While we aren't advocates of skipping class for a session, we'd be lying if we didn't say that it is what built the country of New Zealand's early days of surfing history.
The second installment of "Made in New Zealand," dives into the history of NZ's surfing scene and culture with a handful of pioneers of the Kiwi scene. From homemade water-housing that captured some of the earliest New Zealand surf to meteorology equipment to help with wave predictions, it's clear that even at one of the southern most points of the world, the obsessive love for surfing burned as bright as in California or Hawaii.
We hope you enjoy this deep dive into the early days of NZ surfing in this episode of "Made in New Zealand."

Obsessed with this! Shine a light on our whenua and all the rippers who live here 🙌🏼
The amount of talent is unbelievable 🏆😱
Kehu's last comment nailed it. We've got the talent. We just happen to be at the arse end of the world! And it's pretty hard to leave NZ and live somewhere else. We always get lured back. No place I'd rather live, truth be told:)
Fully agree bro!! I think that was DK who said that 😎
DK, Matt Groube, Jessy Praggot and james Reynolds ect and the backyard boys from Piha. Even being at the arse end of the world we still have plenty of people competing in the billabong pro and rip curl classics. I'm one of the backyard boys from Piha but im a skater not a surfer. The Sad thing was watching meth rip through all of these communities.
This is amazing! Stoked to have some focus on Aotearoa!
We're stoked you like! Amazing humans in NZ
Brings back a lot of good memories. The cold, the people, the wildness of NZ. Started surfing there and never looked back. Less of the drink and more of the foam. 2017 since my working holiday and still uncrowded.
A great story, it brings back memories!
No disrespect though, it is easy to glorify the early days. I was surfing almost 10 years before 1973 and at quite a few of these spots and many more, a few years after I started. We knew exactly what caused the surf and could generally predict it quite accurately just using the isobar lines on the weather map from the National weather forecast.
The whole CZcams clip makes a good story though, I guess that is the point.
Wow great episode. Love seeing all the local legends and learning more about NZ surfing back in the days. Wish it was longer
Nice one RB. I lived in NZ for about 3years and I am hoping to go back at least one more time. This certainly brought back some nice memories.
Some great inspiration from everyone in this!!
The Raglan surf report! 🥇😂
I am in the engineering field for more than 30 years. But, I never forget a comment from one of my clients about 20 years ago, he said: "I heard you are a surf bum," I just didn't understand why he would say something liked that when I worked as hard as every engineer on the project.
Loving these episodes man
Can you please interview someone from Piha that would be sick!! 🤙
Looks like Elliot Paerata Reid is on the next episode
Awesome keep surfing brothers
Kudos guys. Looks like a great crew.
Haha.. yea I treasure my time growing up surfing in NZ. Maori Bay has given me more stoke than any other place or thing. Great vid!
I've known Luke Cederman since he had hair.
Yeah what happened to his hair? he looks like Kojak.
man paigs back hand snap is insane
Paige hammering it....
Saw Graveyards (near Stent Rd from memory) in some of this footage, remember surfing perfect 5 ' graveyards by myself in the early 80's when I lived in New Plymouth for 2 years. Had some of the best waves of my life on the Taranaki Coast and surfed and skiied on the same day once. Mt Taranaki (Egmont) looked amazing in the background full of snow. A great little series this well done. Fark it was cold in winter time. Why isnt Paige still on the tour she was drilling those backhand re-entries.
Clive is a top bloke. Love this
As a teenager in the 70s surfing Maketu(MBR Forever) we were heavily influenced Bob Davies Taff Kennings and other crew from that Whanga pack,we had a batch at Otahu. Am 62 and still surf everyday here on the Sunny coast Queensland. I ride 9’ twinnys 8’ quads and whatever else I can come up with in my stupid head and Mark at Dessa PerigianSurf
Its crazy seeing old faces I thought I knew, seeing them I probably wouldn't recognise them if I saw them in the street.
Sheeeesh was it really that long ago?
Luke surfs like I do when I close my eyes 😉.
Cheers from across the ditch 👍
MOKOMOKAI ON THE TRACK
76 and 77 there was a few rather large swells 12 ft indicators cleaners Mark Taylor was the first one out occasional set rolling right through running right through to whale bay we used to ride Mark shanks tube cruises very talented Shaper some of our best surf trips start at Ari Para on a South West 527 drive to Raglan overnight two days of Raglan then hit stent Road drive to mahia Peninsula get Rolling Stones no crowds at all the days when you get surf with no one out oh what a feeling I love how the young Crew I really pushing the limits haven't surf since 2002 due to a spinal injury oh how I miss it
Wild atlantac way Ireland.. lets do it. Spring / Summer 24'
Whaingaroa hard, westcoast😎🤙🏾🌊
Yea boys!
Mean WHANAU!!
🔥🔥🔥
What's the average water temperature there? I live in Noosa, Qld. It ranges from around 21 (winter) to 25 degrees here.
That dame rip hard!
i find that its not crowded funny because i like crowds, where i surf, theres next to no one and i basically follow where the other surfers are, just cause i enjoy it more and having a long board coming towards me 😂
Tui Wordley was an pioneer of NZ surfing
Emerson Tucker was well before Luke Cederman as the initial innovative freestyle surfer at Raglan
Spent a year in NZ awhile back, still dream about going back everyday
Wouldn't recommend we're having a major youth crime wave. Shootings are becoming more prevalent, Child poverty is getting worse and our PM does nothing about it.
Kanoee Wakahananui of course
luke cederman should get a g-land wildcard he would rip
omg this man made a whole meteorology machine, hope he sold it and is rich now
💯👍👍
Remember when everyone would go to Bali and come back with surfboards stuffed with Thai sticks? 1969 those were the days.
Red Bull should sponsor Shrek
🌴😎💯chur
Hot Tip. "Karakas". Wake Up! Thanx.
Free our country
luke the goat
Rap with surf clips is kinda weird tbh
Far from accurate
Started surfing around Christchurch beaches early 60's on a Gordon Woods 9'3". Live on the Sunshine Coast now and surfing is shit. Too much agro here. This ain't what surfing was about.....
Fake news
