About the Club

The Byron Bay Malibu Club is a sporting club that meets on the second Sunday of every month for friendly competition, followed by a barbeque. At these days there is no set competing divisions and the emphasis is on fun on the waves for young and old. The club caters for all levels of surfing ability from beginners to State & Aussie Champions and we are proud to be a family based club. Not all club members surf and we welcome social members.

The club began in the late 70's and early 80's when local surfers who shared a common love of Malibu surfing would meet and hold impromptu contests, keeping the tradition of Malibu surfing alive. 

In 2023, the Byron Bay Malibu Club will be holding its 42nd Annual Malibu Classic, the longest running single fin longboard event in Australia. The event will be held on the 29th and 30th of April, 2023. We expect to have over 150 competitors again this year, together with their families and a large number of spectators.

All money received by the Club from our sponsors goes directly to these organisations. In the past 40 years, with the support of generous sponsors, we have donated well in excess of $300,000 to local organisations and charities.

We will be continuing to donate locally with the proceeds going to the Coastal Patrol, Westpac Rescue Helicopter, The Youth Activity Centre, The Shift Project, The Disabled Surfers Association NSW Far North Coast.
