Riding the mighty Atlantic waves on a wing is fascinating. And Scotland has plenty of mighty waves to offer, as the region is one of the windiest places in Europe. Anyone who sets foot in the water here and sets off on a downwinder along the rugged coastline should therefore know exactly what they are doing. Not only strong winds and waves await, but also massive currents and a tidal range of several metres.
But you obviously don't have to worry about the protagonists in this clip. There's not only first-class action on show, but also very atmospheric shots that immediately make you want to take a trip to Scotland.
