Surfing festival fun

Scarborough’s annual surf festival made a welcome return on Saturday.

The event took place at Scarborough’s North Bay.

Dexter’s Surf School offered taster surf lessons for all ages throughout the day, which were free. However, a donation of £5 to the Closer

Communities charity was suggested.

Wave Project members also offered an example of their wave therapy sessions so people could get involved and see what they are about.

As well as all this, there was a fun surfing competition for children aged 8 to 14 and a competitive ‘expression session’.

People also had the chance to try the surf simulator and climbing wall, and get involved in creating large scale sand art on the beach with Animated Objects.

There was also a display of VW camper vans and cars.
