Fantastic experience

Thank you for such a great first experience at North Coast Watersports! 🌊🏄‍♀️ @northcoastwatersports It was my first time ever surfing, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for better instructors. They were so friendly, patient, motivating and incredibly knowledgeable, making the whole experience so enjoyable and giving me the confidence to give it a go! 🤍 I absolutely loved the experience and will definitely be visiting again soon. I’d highly recommend North Coast Watersports to anyone living in Caithness or visiting the area as part of the NC500! 🌊✨

Brilliant fun

My son and I made spur of the moment decision to drive from Inverness for a group surf lesson. Super glad we did as we had brilliant time. I would thoroughly recommend North Coast water sports, everything was spot on and our instructor Jake was excellent. A lot of fun!

Amazing

Finn was amazing. Our 9yr old went from never touching a surface board to standing and riding the waves. Finn was very patient and supportive putting everyone at ease. Glass was a mix of ages and everyone came out smiling. Would definitely book again. Athena says it was ‘the best day ever’

Brilliant instructors!

Boys aged 7 and 10 took part in a surf lesson today which was brilliant. The guides were knowledgeable and gave memorable explanations and safety instructions in a fun way that helped the boys recall what they needed to do. Lots of practice and then hands on support in the water. This was the first time my seven year old had taken part in a surf lesson and so one of the guides stuck with him and another youngster. He was superb with them, got them standing on the boards, riding the waves and feeling amazingly confident even when they fell off. Both boys absolutely loved it with thanks to the enthusiasm of the guides. Thank you for a brilliant day! A must for anyone visiting the area with a love of the water.

The guys and girls who led the session today (Wednesday 29th July 10am) were excellent. My two boys 10 and 7 had a great time. The instructors were kind, full of energy and inculcated a love of surfing in the group today. Great experience.

Simply outstanding

First time "sea surfing" for Eilidh and her pal Niamh, both 12yrs old. Extremely well organised, fun, friendly, and felt very safe. Run by a lovely couple, explained everything really well and helped and supervised the group throughout. Extremely good value, and an incredibly beautiful setting. Thoroughly recommended and we will definitely be back!!

Another adventure ticked off the list

I got my daughter a surfing lesson while we were on holiday in Thurso as she had never tried surfing before. She had an absolute ball. The two instructors were fantastic, the 1st 20-30min of the lesson was spent on the beach showing everyone what to do & explaining things before going into the water. I would definitely book with them again if I wasnin the area.
