It was just that little bit shinier down at the Groin in the Noosa Woods last Thusday (3 November) when a group of 40 Australian Army soldiers hit the sand for a day of fun in the sun.
Merricks Learn to Surf team had the guys out on longboards, with a few picking up waves in no time.
The group, made up of mostly tradies from the Enoggerra Army Barracks, spent a full day on the beach learning surfing, playing cricket and competing in obstacle courses.
Everyone had a ball and enjoyed being out of their army greens for once.
Owner Merrick Davis said Learn to Surf was proud to play a part in the guys coming up to get out of the barracks and build up their camaraderie in the sun and surf.
“It’s all about teamwork,” Merrick said.
“They are such a tight group and they really love the chance to get out of their greens and get out on the sand,“ he said.
