Get ready to dive headfirst into the splash and spectacle of WAVERIDER, a thrilling new outdoor performance that brings the exhilaration of the ocean to the steps of Bondi Pavilion.

Sydney physical theatre legends Legs On The Wall take surf culture to dizzying new heights, performing on a giant inflatable wave that rises and rolls with jaw-dropping acrobatics. From duck-dives, dumps and wipeouts to the joy of catching the perfect ride, WAVERIDER captures the classic moments that make summer at the beach unforgettable.

Celebrating sun, sand, surf and the shimmering marine world beneath the breakers, this family-friendly adventure is the ultimate seaside spectacle. And the fun doesn’t stop when the performers take their final bow – the inflatable wave transforms into an enticing play zone, ready for everyone to enjoy
