The local surf breaks offer an ideal antidote to
the challenges of nurturing a small business.
“I’m so lucky to have a lazy pushbike ride to the
beach and amazing waves at my doorstep,” says
Celeste. “In Byron Bay you can usually find a
wave no matter the wind direction because of all
the coves. I wanted any downtime I have to be
surfing in paradise, and Byron makes it very easy
to live a creative life as well as a life outdoors.”LIVING/DINING A traditional Hawaiian surfboard stands proud
