Club History

The club was formed by a group of local surfing enthusiasts back in 1961,
the clubhouse then being a large garden shed standing where the toilet
block now stands.

I have some memories of what the club was like in the earliest days written by
Mr Fred Whiting who was our first Club Chairman, and has retained his interest in the club over the years. Indeed, he is the Life President of the club.
See what Fred has to say in the Club History part 2 along with more past photo's of the club's shenanigans...

Meanwhile, the following photo's are from the more recent past going back
perhaps 15 years or so.....
Any of our ex members who see themselves here will perhaps get a kick out of
these pickies!? .. get in touch and let us know how you are.


Les and a couple of juniors

 


Let's start with a pickie of our illustrious Club Chairman -
Hi Les....

Everyone knows Darius

 




Don't they look like fresh faced youngsters?

Young and innocent??

 

 


And so do these....

I remember that day.
We used to do demonstations with the Reel, Line and Belt
It's heavier than it looks
A "Demo" day with the RNLI taking part - this is a newspaper cutting

Ready to go

 

 


The Raft race was a good laugh!.......

Away they go



They started out ok, but not all the rafts made it back to the beach in one piece..

Red Barrows and Les

 


The Red Barrows was one of our Carnival Floats that did quite well. Oh look, - there's Les again...

Markus enjoyed himself here

 

 

The things they got up to on Bodmin Moor in 1993....

Try not to fall in

 

 

 

and again

Loads of money
A cheque presentation - two to be more accurate.
