The team from Raglan Engineering and Rosetree Enterprises install the surfboard display wall.
Raglan Museum’s surfboard display is a step closer with the installation of the surfboard display wall. Designed by Jamie and Jenny Bruce of Envision Architecture, the display wall features stainless steel posts and macrocarpa beams. It was built by Lenny Prinz and Stu MacDonald of Rosetree Enterprises, and Peter Williams and staff at Raglan Engineering. Thanks also go to Gallagher for their sponsorship of the Raglan surfing exhibit.
Part of the surfing exhibit, the display wall will house Raglan Museum’s collection of vintage surfboards, dating from the 1960s. This collection includes early Malibu longboards.
Bob Comer, keen surfer and donor of many of the heritage surfboards, visited the museum to see where the boards would soon be going in. He checked out the display wall and reckons that it will be a fitting display for the collection. We hope to have the surfboards installed later this month.

The surfwax display is taking shape.
Also taking form is the museum’s collection of vintage surfwax. Also collected by Bob Comer, the collection follows the history of wax in the surf experience, from household paraffin wax of the 1960s to the specialist waxes of recent years.
