ππββοΈGrateful Hearts Donates Β£500 to Broch Surf Club πββοΈπ
Today, Sharon and I had the absolute pleasure of meeting three incredibly talented local young surfers β Gabe Noble, Callie Cruickshank and Kai Cruickshank (unfortunately many other talented kids from the club wasnβt available tonight) to present Broch Surf Club with a donation of Β£500 to support the fantastic work they do within our community.
Broch Surf Club was founded by oor Sheenaβs husband Pete Strachan, Malcom Findlay, Iain Masson, Billy Duncan, Duncan Kerr, Peter McKay and Wullie Tait. The club traces its origins back to 1974, when the first competitive surfing event was held in the town. The club was established that same year, and in 2025 celebrated the 50th anniversary of both the club and the first Scottish national surfing event held in the Broch. Prior to that, surfing pioneer and local skipper Wullie Tait was the first to introduce our town to surfing after bringing back a surfboard from a trip to California way back in 1968!
Since then, Broch Surf Club has played an important role in the development of Scottish surfing, hosting events and helping to produce many Scottish surfing champions throughout the years.
This voluntarily run club, which is dedicated to introducing more young people to the sport of surfing, provides a platform for gaining surf advice, training opportunities, building confidence, encouraging healthy lifestyles, and historically offering βtry meβ surf sessions for those experiencing surfing for the very first time. Their work helps young people develop skills, friendships, resilience and a real connection to the outdoors and our beautiful North East coast π
We are proud to support a club that gives so much back to the Fraserburgh community and creates opportunities for the next generation of surfers to thrive. The Β£500 will go towards the next planned surf tournament that the Broch will be hosting in October where they hope to encourage kids from all over Scotland to attend and by promoting this their hope is that more local kids spectating the event will encourage them to give surfing a try π€©
With βtry meβ surf sessions for local youngsters also planned in the near future there will be opportunity for local youngsters to get involved in the sport.
π You can still help! π
Broch Surf Club is currently taking part in the Tesco Fraserburgh Stronger Starts Community Grant Scheme until July. If youβre shopping in Tesco Fraserburgh, please remember to place your blue token in the Broch Surf Club voting box. Every token helps them secure additional funding π
A huge well done to everyone involved with the club and thank you for everything you do for our local young people. We canβt wait to see what the future holds for the Broch Surf Club and to watch these talented young surfers grow into the next generation of local stars and national champions π€©ππββοΈπββοΈππ΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώπ
Best wishes for the future!
