Stand up Paddle Surfing (SUP) is an alternative to regular surfing or kayaking/canoeing. SUP is great for fitness, very good fun and works perfectly in flat calm  conditions! This cross breed of paddling and surfing appeals to a wide audience and on the right equipment, is surprisingly easy!

Tiree offers an abundance of SUP spots. The calm waters of Loch Bhasapol lead you on to Gott Bay, Crossapol and  eventually the larger and more challenging surf on the west coast of the island. A full range of conditions within ten  miles of one another. Tiree is the perfect spot for SUP and SUP is a great ‘no wind’ alternative for windsurfers and  kitesurfers, and is a perfect ’small swell’ alternative for surfers. It is also a quick surf fix for kayakers who don’t want to take the time to learn how to surf. Everyone is a winner with SUP!

Our hire and instruction of SUP is run on a very flexible basis working around you and the predominant weather conditions. We will operate in a wide variety of venues and water surface conditions. This means that no two lessons or paddling sessions are the same and therefore the learning curve of this sport is a very steady and progressive one.
