Inner Hebrides

A beautiful place to visit and has an exhaustive amount of downwind routes to choose from depending on your ability, weather conditions and preferences. Paddling between the islands or between bays can be very fun but it is not for the inexperienced.


Outer Hebrides

Also not for the inexperienced. Volatile weather, often with strong winds

About Safety

  • Corryvreckan may have decently surfable waves, avoid whirlpools?
  • Cuan Sound
  • Falls of Lora video (tidal race with standing waves)
  • The Gray Dogs video
  • Pentland Firth - several tidal races but do any provide reasonably safe waves to catch?
