surfing in caithness

[roadbowler]

hello, can anyone out there tell me if there are any big surfing competitions on this year at thurso east as there has been previous years?

Also, I have a friend from the states hopefully visiting this spring who is an avid surfer and she would be up for a session when she comes. I hear there is a surf shop in thurso... Is it still open and do they hire out boards?

Actually, if it works out for her to get here it will be the two weeks b4 the date of the start of the comp. Are you a surfer A9?

Not a board surfer, I have been known to paddle a kayak in the surf.

Hi, I like to go for a surf session with your friend when she visits. Two Wahinis in the water. I don't have a surfboard for her, but I might have an extra one then, cause the one I want to order is currently out of stock.

I am actually looking for people to surf with in Thurso myself!
