Rip Curl Raglan Pro Cancelled For 2022.

Raglan Pro, New Zealand

Raglan, New Zealand (Friday 11th February 2022): Surfing New Zealand and Rip Curl have cancelled the upcoming Rip Curl Raglan Pro at Manu Bay due to ongoing COVID-19 related concerns Nationally. The event was due to be held on March 19-20, 2022.

With the COVID-19 situation increasing in significance nationally, organisers have opted to avoid any further risk of additional exposure to competitors, families, and local residents by holding the event.

“Canceling the Rip Curl Raglan Pro was a difficult decision to make. We view the event as a great celebration of surfing in New Zealand, but the health and safety of competitors, and our respect and consideration for the local community is always our top priority” commented Rip Curl Marketing Manager Angus Forrest. “The Raglan Pro is about getting together and having a good time whilst showcasing New Zealand’s best out at the point, so with the current uncertainty about Covid restrictions, we don’t want to add any pressure to the local community”.
