About Us
We are all in this together – and we are glad you are visiting our site. This is our online meeting place, where we organise our activities, share ideas, and publicise our mission.
With every year that passes, the BBOP grows in numbers and experiences. That's why this year we are proud to bring you newer and stronger events. The Byron Bay Ocean Paddler has raised thousands of dollars towards charites in Byron Bay and the surrounding areas over the past 4 years. Starting as a small group of mates paddling around Julian Rocks, the race soon became Byron Bay's largest ocean ski event, last year donating over $4500 towards local charities, one of them being "The Fatherhood Program" and the Byron Bay Surf Life Saving Club.
