May 1 09 In Byron Bay Today

Welcome to the In Byron Bay Today Weekend Windup. It’s been an amazingly beautiful week this last seven days, especially for the logger crew. Unfortunately there hasn’t been much on offer in town for the Little Whiteboard set, but they have been getting some funky beach breaks around the other side, so they’re not missing out. This coming Sunday will see the annual Byron Winter Whales Ocean Swim, good luck to all the competitors. Speaking of comps; the 29th annual Byron Bay Malibu Classic will get underway this coming Friday the 8th of May. So we should see a few entertaining old cruisers in the water over the next few weeks. On a less happy note, one of our local sliders was injured at The Pass two days ago, by a beginner trying to surf crowded waves far beyond their ability. The rationale ‘I got to learn somewhere’. I can’t stress this enough folks, beginners and crowded surf do not mix safely at all. If you’re a newcomer to surfing in the last few years, try reading our surf safety guide, it’s good for what ails you. You’ll learn what you need to know to feel safe and have more fun. Ok that’s the windup for this gorgeous week as we saw it, hope you all had a good time In Byron Bay Today.
To all those fabulous folks who chose to pose, we’d just like to say. Thank you all for being here with us In Byron Bay Today.
