All our staff and customers love the trips to these islands and the stoke is infectious! The new tours for August 2012 onwards will go live mid May!
C2C STAND UP PADDLING (SUP)
Coast to Coast run Stand Up Paddle lessons and courses throughout the year. The SUP board is the perfect craft for cruising the coastline on flat days, exploring caves, reefs, deserted beaches and coves. On windy days we also offer inland river, estuary and loch lessons. Add on the dimension of surfing waves or down winding, surfing open ocean swell and you can also get your adrenaline rush! Coast to Coast have Qualified ASI SUP instructors and we offer introductory and progressive lessons and tours that cover paddle and turning technique, equipment terminology and safety.
Beginners 2 hour lessons and tours cost £35 with day tours costing £65 (4 hours on the water plus break for lunch). All lessons and tours include equipment (wetsuit/board and paddle). We offer individual lessons and can teach groups up to 6. To find out more get in touch.
C2C BODYBOARDING
With over 50% of all Europes wave riders being bodyboarders, we thought it was about time we introduced bodyboard lessons to Scotland. On a basic level bodyboarding offers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the rush of catching waves and learning turning and speed skills. The lighter softer bodyboards offer dual benefits of safety in the water and a much smaller craft to transport.
The sport at an advanced level is explosive and truely acrobatic with bodyboards consistently at the forefront of pushing whats possible on a wave! Coast to Coast have two of our Senior instructors finishing 1st and 2nd in the last Scottish Bodyboarding championships with over 35 years experience between them and they have helped design Coast to Coast Bodyboard programme that covers 12 lessons and 4 courses from catching your first wave through to how to project your first aerial manouver. Lessons cost £35, Day classes £65 (2 lessons same day) and we have introduced our first Bodyboard and Surfing tours this year Island adventures. Get in touch if you want to find out more?
