Soldiers take on wakeboarding at inaugural RLC championships

Watch: Soldiers take part in the inaugural RLC Wakeboarding Championships.

Soldiers from across the Royal Logistics Corps (RLC) took on wakeboarding with the aim of growing the extreme watersport and building team cohesion in the RLC.

Up to 30 personnel, including soldiers and officers from eight regiments, took part in the four-day inaugural RLC Wakeboarding Championships, many for the first time.

With the success of this year's event, plans are being made to add boat sets for next year's events as well as use the event to promote opportunities for soldiers to bond through sports.
