Last Wednesday students spent the afternoon doing a quintessentially Byron Bay activity, bodyboarding at Byron Bay’s iconic Main Beach.

Bodyboarding team assembled and ready to catch some waves

Instructors from Lets Go Surfing, Byron Bay’s longest running surf school, met students after class and everyone walked from the Lexis campus to Main Beach.

We are only a 15 minute walk to Byron’s Main Beach!

Lets Go Surfing provided students with wetsuits and bodyboards and were prepared with gear for beach soccer.

Sharing a wave is more fun

The surf was choppy, but all students managed to catch a few waves and had lots of fun, which is the important thing!
