Sketchy launch and riding wee bumps on the West Coast of Scotland
sweet...miss the Scotland..
Looks awesome. Is that on a NE wind?
Yep, you obviously know the area :)
@@andycorbe Been to Ballahulish on hol, but that was before I started downwinding. Now keen to get back there!
so good .. true pioneers
I live in troon, looking to buy some kit and get into it!
Awesome! it's only gotten better since I made this. Hit me up on Facebook, there's been a bit of evolution in the kit and I can help you get set up.
@@andycorbe Will do👍
Great video Andy. Keep them coming! I’ve added Scotland to the downwind bucket list 🙌
Cheers mate, we were on that run last weekend, turned completely mental after we finished. I think its on par with the Gorge but unfortunately not on that often. Mind you the runs around Oban are super nice as well. Hopefully knock them all off on the SUP this year.
Epic. Were you with Julian? I’m 100% keen to come visit. Hopefully in October. Conditions definitely look like Hood River quality!
Great guides Andy! Cheers, Will - SUPboarder
Niceeeeeeeeeeeeee
Nice one dude!
Nice vidéo. What is your foil size? Thank you
Hi, Axis HPS 930
Haha was not expecting to hear Shihad on a Scottish downwinder guide! Looks great though maybe one day I can check it out!
All about sowing confusion :)
Thanks for the show AC! And I appreciated your comments. Looking forward to more from Scotland, Cheers! BestRob
Cheers mate!
I would be afraid that my wing would pop. What is your bail out plan?
That's why I advocate floater boards, it would be super unlucky to have a wing pop but even if it does you should still be able to use whatever is left (boom and fabric) so make way downwind. Worst case you prone paddle. I almost always carry a VHF now so if something happens you can talk to any passing boats rather than push the red button for Coast Guard.
Dont forget parachute or ejection seat.
@@andycorbe you could also use your.
pretty cool ride ! good to know for inreach seem interesting to have !
Epic!
What foils are you using?
Axis HPS 930 on that day
Really great video ! Love the wasps 😊 looks like foil bliss !
Is there anyway to find out when you have future trips planned, are you open to having other foilers tag along, thanks Ian
Hi Ian, always happy to have other riders tagging along. We're out quite a lot, usually one downwinder per week or more if the wind is playing ball. You can email me downwindscotland at gmail.com
Very nice video! Great to see something other than big waves in Hawaii... But that ocean looks cold!!!! I'd join you for a DW but I live way too far away... 😆
Cheers! We use 5 or 6mm wetsuits that keep us plenty warm, in fact I overheat quite often and stop to flush some water through :)

Thanks Andy. Just bought my first wing - this is very inspiring!
Awesome, enjoy the journey!!
Some good info and nice waves there🤙
Hi Andy, just loved your videos… incredible place. I am a downwinder in Rio de Janeiro area… next time I am in Aberdeen, I will try to organize one with you, ok? Thanks
Hey Marcelo, definitely let me know, we are out doing downwinders every week.
Love it
Hope to come join you some day!
Fab vid...well done.
Very interesting. What size of foils do you use and any preference between high aspect to low aspect front wings for downwinder? I see that you were using gloves under your mitts, doesn't it make harder to hold on to the wing? I suppose that harness lines help with that. I'm in Kent and mostly go out on the inland waters (Bewl) where it's usually very gusty, less lift from the foil comparing to the sea and obviously no waves but I'd love to try downwinder especially in Scotland. Thanks for sharing.
Howdy. I use Axis HPS930 (78kg rider). Definitely prefer high aspect for the glide and speed, also important that your setup doesn't generate too much front foot pressure as that gets tiring really quickly. I use heavy duty nitrile type gloves under open palm mitts, they give great grip and the combination is enough warmth over the Scottish winter. I don't usually use a harness at all for downwind but definitely good if you have long crosswind sections. The West Coast of Scotland is incredible for downwinders, for sure worth a visit :)
