PRESENTED BY LEGS ON THE WALL AND WAVERLEY COUNCIL AS PART OF

SYDNEY FESTIVAL 2026

Get swept up in a thrilling ocean adventure in WAVERIDER, a new family-friendly, outdoor physical performance that will leave you breathless.

Catching waves, ducking under, swimming out to a sandbar or beyond the break — getting dumped! These are the classic, irresistible moments that bring us back to the beach each summer.

Performed on a gnarly inflatable wave at the iconic Bondi Pavilion, Legs On The Wall will bring surf culture and jaw-dropping acrobatics together into an epic show capturing our shared obsession with the sea.

Celebrating the sun, sand, surf and marine life above and below the sea, WAVERIDER is not to be missed. The perfect complement to a day at Sydney’s most famous beach. Stay after the show, as the inflatable wave transforms into a play zone for everyone to enjoy!
