Style Surfing Byron Bay . . .

On Thursday 20th October students were taken on a surfing adventure with Gaz, from Style Surfing Byron Bay . . . the surf was fairly good, although there was a stronger current than on previous days. The students enjoyed their surfing and are all hooked on this amazing and healthy lifestyle sport!

Gaz even described some of them as ‘shredding!’

What a cook-up! After a long long wait we all finally got to taste a bit of Sicily when Italian student Nicola cooked us all a magnificent pasta dish on Tuesday.

The next cooking activity will be on 4th November! Swiss maybe?

The Byron Bay Surf Festival is a 3 day fusion of surf culture now, including Surfing, Art, Music and Lifestyle. Byron Bay is the perfect venue to showcase the creative culture within surfing.

The Byron Bay Surf Festival has something to offer ALL studnets and people from all walks of life, so get out there this weekend and enjoy the best of what Byron Bay has!

With a focus on keeping the festival within the town centre of Byron, as festival organisers we have as many local venues as possible hosting events such as:

Artshows, Live music, Surf films, Surf workshops, Surf culture markets, the ‘freestyle&stoke’ Surf Sessions at Wategoes Beach and the Surf Swap Meet also at Watego’s!

Finally we got to go SURFING with STYLE SURFING BYRON BAY. The conditions were finally PERFECT for our lesson, smooth glassy ocean, no wind and small, almost perfectly formed rolling waves allowed us to surf @ The PASS! Whilst Gaz our trusted surf instuctor is away surfing Indonesian barrels, we were left in the hands of Marky and Adam, who proved to be excellent, patient, fun teachers! The students, along with teacher Andrew and Michelle had an awesome afternoon. We are all looking forward to the weekend to show off our new and improved surfing skills!

“Circular Rhythm” came to Lexis Byron Bay on Wednesday 5th October and put on an interactive Indigenous Cultural / Educational display for the students and staff.
