About

Newcastle Area bodyboarding, Solid bodyboard shop and Solid (Newcastle) bodyboard club are here to promote bodyboarding within the area and encourage riders to take the next step up in performance riding. Riders in the gorup range from 12yrs of age to 40 years of age and represent many generations of riders who have enjoyed the benefits of being in the ocean on a sponge!

Within the group are riders who have a passion for riding big, solid waves and believe this is the true role of the bodyboard as a wave riding vehicle. They can be seen at many of the reef’s that litter the coast in the area when the swell, wind and tides align. Many riders have gained international recognition through video parts and great photo’s shot from the area which have made it to print.

Whatever level of riding you are at, it is a widely held belief that experience in competition fuels the fire to progress. This healthy motivation, coupled with an environment that is inclusive and fun is what the club, the shop and area is about.

We believe strongly in etiquette in surfing and all things in life. We believe in the area’s future riders and we believe and understand the contributions past riders from the area have made to the Australian bodyboarding scene. We want to set an example for the younger riders, filmers and photographers, to be better surfers, more astute consumers and pro-active members of the bodyboarding community.

We hope you appreciate and enjoy what we have to offer. Any question feel free to drop into a comp, the shop or email the site admins.
