This year kicked off with a bang at the iconic Bondi Pavilion, where we were honored as The No. 1 Club in Australia! To top it off, we received The Simon Anderson Award and were inducted into the Surfing Hall of Fame—an unforgettable start to an incredible year.

Highlights from 2024

ABB Finals at Burleigh Heads

Our Byron team shone brightly, with standout performances from Soli Bailey, Dakoda Walters, and rising star Leihani Zoric. At just 11 years old, Leihani stunned spectators, confidently tackling 6–8 foot surf and proving why she’s a talent to watch for the future.

Soli Bailey’s Big Year

Soli pushed his limits, charging 15–20 foot barrels in Fiji—a feat celebrated among surfing royalty worldwide.

Straddie Invitational Tag Team

One of our favorite events of the year! Byron clinched an impressive 2nd place at this fiercely competitive event.

ABB Qualifier at Coffs Harbour

Our team performed brilliantly, making the final to secure 4th place and qualifying yet again for the ABB Finals at Burleigh.

End-of-Year Presentation

We wrapped up 2024 with a massive celebration at The Park Hotel, our major sponsor. With 200 members attending, it was a fitting way to close out a remarkable season.

Congratulations to All Competitors

This year brought amazing waves for most events, and the level of competition was nothing short of inspiring. Congratulations to our division winners and finalists—you’ve showcased the incredible local talent of Byron Bay and a bright future for surfing in our community.
