The Barron Viner Memorial: A Legacy of Excellence
The Barron Viner Memorial (BVM) stands as a pinnacle event in the Australian bodyboarding calendar, hosted annually by the North Central Coast Bodyboarders (NCCB). Since its inception in 1997, the BVM has consistently drawn elite competitors, including World Champions, Pipe Masters, and Australian Champions, solidifying its reputation as a premier competition.
As a key component of the prestigious "Memorial Triple Crown of Bodyboarding," alongside the Jeff Wilcox Memorial Comp in Forster and the Goose Gosby Memorial Comp in Port Macquarie, the BVM offers competitors the chance to attain one of the highest honours in Australian bodyboarding.
The 2025 BVM, scheduled for July 19th and 20th, promises to be a landmark event, attracting over 100 competitors to the renowned breaks of Lakes Beach, Soldiers Beach, or North Entrance. Featuring world championship-qualified judges, the iconic voice of surfing, MC Teza McKenna, and a substantial $6,000 prize pool, the BVM is poised to be one of the most significant bodyboarding competitions of the year.
This event holds deep significance for the Central Coast bodyboarding community, dedicated to the memory of local legends Matt Barron and Luke Viner. Matt tragically passed away while bodyboarding at Lakes Beach in 1996 due to an undiagnosed heart condition, and Luke was lost in December 2020. Their profound impact on the local scene is honoured through the BVM, celebrating their contributions and keeping their spirit alive within the community.
