We mostly coach on our great local loch. It is called Castle Semple Loch and it’s at Lochwinnoch.
It is big enough to have a variety of conditions but small enough to be super safe
If you are 16 or over and no matter what fitness level, we can teach you to have fun and stay safe on a SUP
Our Loch is a gorgeous place to spend an evening.
We also travel to amazing local spots. We run a club night coaching plan through the year
If you want to take it to the next level, we run Touring & Race SUP training.
It is a great way to get fit as well.
We run courses for both adults and children
(10 yrs upwards)
We run a junior club night throughout the season with coaching included
We run a adult club night throughout the season for competent windsurfers
We will spend two hours on the water, and teach you the techniques, that will make every SUP trip fun & safe.

Great local selection of boards and kit that you can demo. Based near Falkirk.
Emma who runs it could not be more helpful.
Glasgow based company that makes excellent dry-bags, drysuits, wetsuits and more.
Tough and extremely good value kit.
Originally we knew them as a Windsurf company but they now also hire and sell paddle boards. They do a very useful repair service for boards & sails.
You find the strangest things floating down rivers…
A SUP board is the perfect place to collect plastic from the water that you are enjoying
Paddle Against Plastic is a British initiative run by Cal Major to inspire positive environmental changes
Formed in 1981, and having been run by many volunteers over the years, the club is in a great place. It is the biggest club in the country, and still feeds the most junior windsurfers onto the Scotland Squad. Some of them go on to join the GB squad.
See you all in April (Hopefully)
Level 4 COVID Restrictions, (Renfrewshire), mean that most organised Windsurfing and SUP activities are not yet started for the year.
