Scarborough's annual surf festival returns today with experienced and new surfers taking to the waves of the North Bay.
Scarborough's Surf School will be running two youth surfing competitions as well as Dexter's Surf School who will be offering both adult and junior taster sessions.
Vicki Jones is from the events team at North Yorkshire Council.
The festival, which has been coordinated by North Yorkshire Council, will run from 10am - 4pm at the North Bay.
Scarborough Surf School will run two youth surfing competitions, one for children aged under 12, when foam boards will be provided but participants must wear their own wetsuit, and one for under-16s, when competitors will need to provide their own boards and wetsuits.
It will also offer two taster sessions at 10am for adults and 11am for juniors.
North Yorkshire Council's Executive Member for Culture,Arts and Housing, Councillor Simon Myers, said:
North Bay is the perfect setting for this fun, family-friendly festival which promises a great boost for the mind, body and soul.
“Wave conditions will be firmly down to Mother Nature, but what we can guarantee is something for everyone, from seasoned surfers to those just curious to see what all the fuss is about.”
Happy Seal Yoga are hosting three sessions by the sea at 10.30am, 12.30pm and a men-only session at 11.30am.
Dexter’s Surf School are offering an adult taster session at 10am and a junior taster session at 11am. These are free but a donation of £7 to the Mind charity is suggested.
Beyond the surf, a colourful display of vintage VW Campers and Beetles will line the promenade from the Freddie Gilroy sculpture to the piazza outside The Sands complex.
Vicki expects lots of people to be at North Bay throughout the day.
There will be lots of stalls to browse, Greek street food, freshly made pizza and sweet treats to enjoy.
People will be able to have a go on the surf simulator and climbing wall and get involved in creating large scale sand art on the beach with Animated Objects.
Anyone that wants to try an invigorating dip in the sea can join The Hub sea swimmers at the piazza slipway at 10am.
