The Byron Malibu 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.
Currently, the sporting club meets on the second Sunday of every month for friendly competition, followed by a barbeque and once a year the Byron Bay Malibu Club holds its iconic Malibu Classic which is the longest running single fin longboard (only 9ft and over) event in Australia. First held in 1980, the contest attracts competitors from up and down the East Coast and regularly has a contingent visiting from New Zealand.
This year the event will be held on the 25th and 26th of April, 2025.
Money raised is donated to local community organisations.
