On Wednesday 9th November, an excited group of students spent their afternoon bodyboarding on Byron Bay’s iconic Main Beach.
If you are a beginner and have little ocean knowledge, learning to surf may taking some time and effort. However, the learning curve for bodyboarding is far less and most excel with bodyboarding in their first lesson!
Plus, bodyboarding is less weather and ocean condition dependent than surfing.
Instructors from Lets Go Surfing take our students bodyboarding for free once per month!
