Looking for a fun Easter holiday activity? Young people across Whāingaroa are invited to grab a camera or phone and get creative for Inside the Barrel, a community photo project celebrating Raglan’s surf culture.
Open to rangatahi aged 8 to 18, the challenge is to capture what “surf life in Raglan” means to them – from pre-surf rituals and wave action to post-surf kai with friends.
Selected photos will be featured on a public photo wall in central Raglan, timed to coincide with the buzz of the World Surf League event – giving young locals a chance to showcase their surf images during one of the town’s busiest weekends.
Organiser Claire Noble says it’s all about creativity and having a go. “There’s no need for fancy equipment, just capture a moment that shows why you love the surf life here.”
With prizes up for grabs and plenty of holiday inspiration, it’s a great way to get outdoors and tell your story this Easter.
Entries close 5pm, Thursday April 30. For more information, visit www.insidethebarrel.co.nz
