Our west coast surf camps are based on the stunning Scottish Islands. As part of our digital no trace policy we don’t advertise the exact locations in order to keep the Islands and beaches we use as quiet as possible.

We use multiple Scottish  locations, so if you have booked before and wish to try a new location please get in touch.

Full details on booking.

All our surf camps have two experienced instructors  and group size varies between 7 and 11 customers per week.   

The Scottish Islands have some of the most consistent summer surf in Europe and rarely go flat. In the event of any flat days we will offer alternative activities on the islands. 

In 15 years of running weekly summer surf camps we have never cancelled and only moved locations twice. In the very rare event of extreme weather and it is unsafe to run in any alternative location we will offer a full refund. Any further costs on travel or accommodation would be additional.
