Wild Diamond windsurfing school
Tiree is well known as a mecca for serious wavesailing; what is less well known is that it has arguably the best beginners' conditions in Scotland with a very helpful teaching set up at Wild Diamond Windsurfing: Willy Angus MacLean 07712 159 205. Conditions for intermediates are brilliant with flat water blasting on the shallow loch or Gott Bay.
