North Coast Watersports
Surfing Lessons and Experiences
North Coast Watersports is a fantastic surf school based in Thurso, in the far north of Scotland. In fact, it’s the most northerly surf school in the country! Here, you can experience cold water surfing on the stunning waters of the north coast. Suitable for all ages and abilities, you’ll learn how to ride the waves, while seeing the area in a whole new way. Run by instructors Iona and Finn, you’re in safe hands, and their love and passion for surfing is sure to rub off. Not to be missed, during a stay at Mackays Hotel in Wick.
Whenever we are up here, there’s only one hotel that we stay in! Murray, and his team, always make every guest feel so at home. The rooms are cosy, hotel well situated, by the river, and the restaurant and bar are fab. Excellent food and a great selection of drinks. Even with the covid restrictions, our stay was still lovely and we will definitely be back!
Stand Up Paddleboarding
Alternatively, North Coast Watersports provide stand up paddleboarding (SUP) lessons. Again, both private and group lessons are available. Or you can hire equipment on a 2-hourly or daily basis. This is a another wonderful way to explore our dramatic Scottish coastline!
