⛰️ Happy John Muir Day, folks! ⛰️

The new Surf Centre at Belhaven Bay is a great addition to the local community, Benston Cottage is only a few minutes walk away so is a great base for any surf holidays!!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿☀️🏄‍♂️

Andy Bennets East Lothian’s first surfer (in the 60's) was given the honour of opening the new Belhaven Surf Centre. Alasdair and Sam thanked all of our funders and P J Green (building company) and James Robertson Architects. Mike Guest updated all on Patagonia's ethical wetsuits and their European wetsuit fix tour (over 100 wetsuits saved from landfill in the two days they where here!!) Looking forward to sharing the building with Wave Project, East Lothian Countryside Rangers, Dunbar Surf Lifesaving and the surf community. Thanks Kenny from Torridon for photos below!
