Our locations

We operate in the Scottish highlands along the North Coast. Thurso which is the main town is known as the cold water surfing mecca of the world!! We're mainly based at Dunnet beach. This is a long sandy bays that picks up all the north sea swells and is the perfect place to learn or improve how to surf with the long mellow waves this beach can offer. We can also arrange surf lessons at Strathy, Farr and Durness on demand.

"This was by far the highlight of our NC500 trip! Anyone worried about the cold, don't give it a second thought. The wetsuits were great and we didn't stop laughing the whole time. Finn was really helpful and easy going, we'll definitely be back"
