Scottish Surfing

Driving our big events van to Scotland in high winds was pretty eventful – you felt like you were surfing the road at times but eventually we got there.

The Big Van surfed to Scotland

Cam and Lawrence from Brookbank

The Brookbank guys are all keen paddlers so after the event finished on Saturday we pilled into the vans and headed up to Perth to paddle the classic river Tay. It’s only a short blast of a few miles but less than an hour from Scotland’s major cities it is a brilliant section full of on the fly play. Hats off to Canoe Scotland for working with other local users (especially the fishermen) to secure access to this spot.

The weapons of choice were longer faster surf boats so Cam the Brookbank Scotland store manager took the Axiom for a rip whilst Lawrence, store manager from Lancaster, got the Juice to make the most of the wave trains that you could catch on the way down.
