1 RHA get amongst the waves.

Thanks to BFBS for coming along and doing a great job filming us. They really did do a fantastic piece for us. For the record Russ Pierre one of the instructors was not in the military and does not wish to mislead anyone. We look forward to seeing more members of 1 RHA in February. We have also just returned from the USA where we have been working with Operation amped and the US Naval Surf Clinic which is part of the rehabilitation of injured vets. We had an amzing time and will post some photos this week. Please copy the link below

Surf Action

Our last few months have been very busy setting up Surf Action as an non-profit organisation. We now have a little funding to run events and do all we can to use surfing to offer vets and their families an opportunity to come to the beach, go surfing and experience something that could change your life. Pictured here are a few of the great people helping to support us, including James Parry nearest who represents GulWetsuits who have kindly said they will support us. Also Bob Paxman (in Black shirt) from talking to Minds, Graham Richardson from The Royal British Legion (second left), vets Martin Webster, Simon Rogers, Rich Emerson, and Trevor Luttrell. Instructors kindly giving their time are Mark Eley (Back row) and Freddy Warwick(RoyalMarine & Navy Surf Club seated).
Thankyou all for your support.
