Beachworkz Surf Shop

For more than two decades, Beachworkz Surf Shop has been a go-to for locals and visitors chasing quality gear, friendly service and genuine coastal know-how. Run by long-time Ballina local Jeff Templeton, the shop has expanded over the past five years to offer kayak, stand-up paddleboard and surfboard hire, making it an easy launch pad for water adventures across the region.

Hire is flexible — from half-day sessions through to week-long escapes — and the team will even deliver and collect your gear, perfect for anyone without roof racks or a sizeable vehicle.

Just a quick five-minute drive from Shaws Bay, it's an ideal starting point for families. As Jeff puts it, the bay is "safe, enclosed water and not too deep" making it perfect for kids and beginners looking to find their confidence.

In-store, you'll find a strong line-up of surf, skate and streetwear, plus a great range of surfboards, boogie boards and softboards. Whether you're gearing up or simply seeking local tips, Jeff and his crew are always happy to share insider advice on the best breaks and conditions across the region.
