BELHAVEN SURF CLUB
The Belhaven surf club was created as an informal surf club in 2007 with local surfers getting together for socials and national competitions.
In 2019 the new Belhaven surf centre was built with one of the core aims to become a performance base for our young local surfers. In early 2021, coast to coast teamed up with some very keen local parents to re launch the Belhaven Surf club and create a new high performance junior surf team which officially launched in December 2021.
In 2021 the Scottish Surfing Federation also launched a new junior series of competitions around Scotland and Belhaven (BHSC) had finalists in the Thurso, Pease Bay and Fraserburgh competitions.
In 2023 we had 6 kids represent the Scottish team. Be 2025 we had 2 junior and 1 senior national champions in surf and long boarding and 6 second places. We also had 9 juniors in national teams with two going to the world championships in Peru and Rosie Moore being the first of our club aged 15yrs to make a round at that level. With formal coaching (12-20 surf and skate sessions a year) and a one week summer training camp the club goes from success to success.
We welcome new young members to the team each year and are looking to equality in our make up by 2027 . We are watching too as our young surfers graduate and go onto jobs in the industry and or run their university surf clubs .
On the competition side we will host the Pease bay will host the national junior championships in March and the longboard nationals in May 2026.

If interested in team selection – young surfers should either (a) send video to coast to coast surf school (b) impress in coast to coast lessons (c) enter and do well in a local junior surf competition. The minimum expectation is unbroken wave riding with control and the older the junior the more we would expect to see. It also helps to be within an hours drive of Dunbar and flexible to get to training on Friday afternoons. We expect all of our team to attend one competition a year alongside a dedication to training.
