Pete Robinson centre with Museum Trustees Kevin Cook, Hugo Tagholm,  Andrew Coleman and Richard Gregory

It was real pleasure to join the great and the good on Thursday night for the official launch of the British Museum of Surfing. Following years of tireless work  a small band of surfing friends, led by founder Pete Robinson, finally got to to open the doors of Europe’s first surf museum, with the  official ribbon cutting performed by Andrew Cotton and Ben Skinner.   With music from Neil Halstead and beer from Skinners brewery the night was a fantastic celebration of the work done by so many volunteers and organisations and the realisation of a dream for Pete Robinson. Well Done!
