At Newcastle Bodyboarding Club, we’re proud to be growing a strong, welcoming community of women in bodyboarding — and everyone is invited to be part of it. No matter your age, experience, or strength level, there’s a place for you here.

Our club is seeing amazing growth across the Under 21 Women’s and Open Women’s divisions, with mums, daughters, sisters, and friends all getting on board - check it out here. Some are seasoned riders, others are trying something completely new — but everyone shares the same thing: smiles, encouragement, and a genuine love for being in the ocean.

Having fun is at the core of what we do. Our focus isn’t just on competition, it’s about enjoying the experience, supporting each other, and celebrating every small win. You’ll always find women cheering from the beach, sharing tips in the water, and lifting each other up. It’s women supporting women, every step of the way.

Joining the club is also about stepping outside your comfort zone. Whether it’s entering your first heat, paddling out on a challenging day, or travelling to a comp, bodyboarding with NBC is a chance to try something different, build confidence, and discover just how capable you really are.

We’re especially passionate about nurturing our next generation of mini ripper women. Watching young girls grow in confidence, strength, and skill — supported by positive role models — is something we’re incredibly proud of. These girls are going from strength to strength, learning not just how to ride waves, but how to believe in themselves.

If you’ve ever thought about giving bodyboarding a go, or getting back into the ocean, now is the time. Come join a club where all women are welcome, fun comes first, and the lineup is full of support, laughter, and good vibes.

Newcastle Bodyboarding Club — get on board!!!
