Learn to Surf: Byron Bay

Learn to Surf: Locality Guides

by Lisa Messenger, Barton Lynch (Foreword)

Introducing Learn to Surf, a new series of fun, fresh and informative locality guides centred around the pastime we can’t get enough of—surfing. From Bondi in New South Wales to Bells Beach in Victoria and Snapper’s Rocks in Queensland, Australia is bursting to share its local surfing secrets with the world. The Learn to Surf guides are each created by a team of local surfers and businesspeople as practical and informative books offering simple tips and principles to help any newcomer to the area—or the sport—to help them find their feet, literally. But with stimulating business in mind, each title also includes information on the area, such as maps, information on hot spots and annual events, as well as a series of stylish advertisements from local businesses and organisations, designed in the fun, youthful Learn to Surf way.

About the author

Lisa Messenger is the vibrant, game-changing founder, CEO and editor-in-chief of Collective Hub. She launched Collective Hub as a print magazine in 2013, with no experience in an industry that people said was either dead or dying. Collective Hub has since grown into an international multimedia business and lifestyle platform with multiple verticals across print, digital, events and education – all of which serve to ignite human potential.

Five years and 52 issues into the print magazine Lisa made the courageous move to “break” the very thing that she started – the print magazine – enabling her to take some time and space to evolve into the next iteration and again disrupt… watch this space.

Lisa is an international speaker, best-selling author, and an authority on disruption in both the corporate sector and the start-up scene. Lisa’s experience in publishing has seen her produce over 400 custom-published books for companies and individuals as well as having authored and co-authored 24 herself.

Most notably, Lisa chartered her ride to success with her bestselling book Daring & Disruptive: Unleashing the Entrepreneur and its sequels Life & Love: Creating the Dream, which reached number-one on Booktopia; Money & Mindfulness: Living in Abundance, that shot to best-selling status within the first month; Breakups & Breakthroughs: Turn an Ending Into a Beginning and Purpose soon followed.

Her passion is to challenge individuals and corporations to get out of their comfort zones, find their purpose, change the way they think, and to prove there’s more than one way to do anything. She encourages creativity, innovation, and an entrepreneurial spirit, and lives life to the absolute max. Most mornings she wakes up and pinches herself at how incredible her life is, but is also acutely aware and honest about life’s bumps and tumbles along the way.

With fans including Sir Richard Branson and New York Times best-selling author Bradley Trevor Greive, and a loyal fan base, Lisa’s vision is to build a community of like-minded people who want to change the world.
