SUP Evening Paddle

Throughout Summer we are offering a number of opportunity to join us for an evening paddle.

Meeting at our base, ensuring we have suitably sized wetsuit, personal buoyancy aids if paddler wishes, we drive the group a short distance to a local paddling location. Here we unload the boards, and after a short safety briefing, we launch onto the water for a fun evening.

Options include;

• Beauly Firth (launching from Clachnaharry)
• Loch Dochfour (launching at Dochgarroch)
• Loch Ness (launching at Dores Beach)
• Aigas Gorge (launching from Aigas Dam)
• River Ness (Dochgarroch to Inverness)
• Caledonian Canal (Dochgarroch to Inverness)

This trip is suitable for adults only.
