One of the most common misconceptions about kitesurfing in Scotland is that it’s too cold. Nothing further from the truth. Well, sort of. Here’s how we do it!
As soon as you will go through our kitesurfing lessons you will need to get some local knowledge on spots. We are always at hand to point out the best locations and run through all the hazards, best tide levels, best wind directions and so on. We also run free kitesurf clinics for our ex students in different locations so you can get some on site info.
As a kitesurfing school we are very lucky to be located in Scotland. Yes, it would be nice to ride in board shorts only from time to time. But then again you can always put them over your wetsuit! With the amount of great spots we have with magnificent backdrops you will never get bored of kiteboarding in Scotland! This time we’ve decided to venture north to Fort George near Inverness.
There are many reasons why people do kitesurfing. For some of us it’s the getaway from the everyday mundane. For some a form of meditation or an adrenaline boost. For most of us it’s also a social activity. Kitesurfers, as opposed to surfers, like to head out in groups. It’s not only down to safety but it’s also more fun watching your mates going huge and ending up in spectacular wipeouts! As the end of season for summer kiters approaches we’ve decided to run this year’s last gathering – The Big Air Weekender in one of our favourite Scottish kitesurfing spots – Sands of Luce.

We’ve got hit by number of windless days over the last 4 weeks so here’s a bit of inspiration! Not only to kite and travel but maybe to hold on until the proper autumn winds will sweep in to Scotland.
Kitesurfing is by far the most exciting water sport in the world. And every year more and more people catch the bug and they never look back. Even in Scotland – especially from autumn when the proper winds kick in! So what makes this sport so amazing and how did it all began?
There is nothing worse than putting on a wet, cold wetsuit. Especially when it’s already wet and cold outside. Which in Scotland is pretty much all year round. Except for that that one week every year. We call it summer. It’s our favourite week! Now, how to get your wetsuits nice and dry for the next day? There are few voodoo tricks you can use.
There is no other water sport that gets anywhere near kitesurfing when it comes to versatility and openness. No mater if you are 9 or 90, you can still get out there and shred! But don’t take just our word on it, check out the amazing Chapter One: The Kitesurfing Movie trailer below. It will blow your mind away!
