The potential for surfers to succeed up within the North of Scotland is enormous.. The waves are tremendous! Infact, the waves are so incredible that Thurso was previously the annual host destination to the O’Neill Highland Opening Surfing Competition and is the current host destination to the Scottish National Surfing Championships. Who would have thought that somewhere so small on the map could have the ability to accommodate for an event so large?! But its possible. Never know.. With copious practice of surfing on those waves, you could be the next star!

So all you surfing fanatics, what you waiting for!?
