Byron Bay

Byron Bay is probably one of the best places on earth. When I was here six years ago I stayed for five months in total, I would have done it again if I had the chance. Being back here just made me realize how sweet of a place it is. The surf was firing, there has been relatively small amounts of change and the pie shop was still serving up the best raspberry pies on the planet.


Our days were spent on the beach, the nights were spent cooking meals on the outdoor BBQ's and having a beer. A few nights saw us head to the pubs to meet the locals, old friends and stare at the on-going surf films that grace the big screens.

The surf was incredible for the entire duration of the time in Byron, five days in total. Off shore winds and head high surf make for a happy little hobbit. After a few years away from town and it was sweet to come back and see some of the best waves ever come through at my surf destination of choice (the wreck). I pretty much had a grin on my face for a week straight.

One fine afternoon we hopped into ole' Remy and headed north to the water slides. I knew that we would have to go once Andi saw them from the car on the way down to Byron. After she saw them it was like a kid stuck on repeat... “Can we go to Wet and Wild today?” “Can we go to Wet and Wild today?” “Can we go to Wet and Wild today?”. I can assure you that it was a super kick ass day, it was both wet and wild.

Now that we have left town and moved on it easy to look back at this place and understand that Byron is just one of those places that feels right, good vibes, everybody loves it and so do we.
