Why join a bodyboarding club?
A bodyboarding club is the fastest way to improve. Monthly club contests give you heats against riders at your level, judges' feedback on your manoeuvres, and a reason to paddle out when conditions aren't perfect. Most clubs also run junior divisions, coaching days and beach clean-ups, and compete against each other at events like the Port Macquarie Teams Challenge.
