Shape your own board with Bret Munro

Under the tutelage of Bret Munro, you will shape your own board, glass it, board will be finished by Bret Munro and freighted to you.

Bret Munro: Founder and father of Munro + Sons , Brett Munro fell in love with the ocean at an early age growing up on the beaches of NZ. Learning to shape in Whangamata under mentors Kingsley ‘Knackers’ Kernouski, Bob Davies, the late Al Burns, and Rod ‘Grub’ Dahlberg. 

Brett, tagged ‘Munzie’ by his mates, honed his craft as the evolution of surfboard design was gearing up in the early 70’s. His passion and love of the sea had him chasing swell all over the south pacific and throughout Asia in a quest to make the perfect board for the perfect wave. 

After moving to Oz in the summer of ’81, Brett established Prana Surfboards out of an old banana shed in Coffs Harbour. Eventually settling in Byron Bay with its world class local breaks and community of watercraft manufacturers, Brett quickly forged a strong reputation for quality and service and garnered a loyal following.

Deep Sea Fishing Charter

Wake up early to be transported to a deep sea fishing charter in the waters off Ballina / Byron Bay / Evans Head.

Surf Breaks

We’ll be straight up with you, Byron and surrounding waves can be crowded. That's why when you surf with locals like Nat, Waps, Muz and Wilko you’ll be shown the local spots that aren't overcrowded, some little known. There will be no shortage of bays, points, bombies and river mouth breaks for you to develop your skill.

Byron Bay and surrounding areas have the benefit of long beaches with distances between headlands, this means the multiple angle changes from north to south allow us to find epic surf in a wide range of conditions.

This trip will be running in Winter (early July). Winter consistently brings bigger swell from the south getting the points pumping.
