HISTORY
Byron Bay Boardriders was formed in 1977 by Doug Unger and friends, under a mango tree in Doug's backyard. Since then, BBB has become one of the premier Boardriders clubs in Australia. Byron Bay Boardriders has been inducted into Surfing Australia's prestigious Hall Of Fame, and in the past has won The Kirra Teams event, The Straddie Assault and recently crowned the winner of the 2023 Australian Boardriders Battle and becoming the best Boardriders Club in Australia.
Byron Bay Boardriders have produced some champions over the rich history, Gary Timperley, Danny Wills, Kieran Perrow, Garrett Parkes, Soli Bailey just to name a few!
This is a proud surfing region with a gritty high performance underbelly and the club and members, past and present, are the heartbeat of a thriving local community. With surfing comes a common ground, a constant source of conversation, camaraderie and competition.
Importantly, we are a family club and encourage involvement, we provide coaching and training programs to ensure juniors are supported in their surfing development.
