We don't really have any
stringent membership guidelines, if you already
paddle then great, why not come along and join us
for a couple of sessions before deciding if we do
the kind of paddling you want.
If you always wanted to try
canoeing, but never taken the opportunity, then
why not give it a go, we have a wealth of coaching
experience and would love to guide you on your
first steps (or paddle strokes) of an exciting new
sport. Please contact, Alie Johnston for further
details regarding the club.

Kayaking: Using either inland lochs or
sheltered parts of the sea we run sessions
adapted to those taking part. Depending on the
weather it can be a trip along some of our
incredible coastline, exploring cliffs stacks
and caves, Or a skills training course following
the BCU 1-3 star scheme, Or a games session
which develops skills and confidence (and
normally involves getting wet..!). More often
than not our instructors combine all of these
approaches within a session. Whitewaves' policy
in order of priority is safety followed by
enjoyment. John is a BCU level 3 (sea) coach
(formally known as a senior instructor) and has
been kayaking for over 25 years, and teaching
for 10. Any staff employed are BCU qualified and
experienced. Windsurfing: The right kit
and the right instruction goes a long way in
preventing the frustration experienced by many
first timers. We use a dry land simulator and a
small loch to help get you going, and we provide
full wet-suits, so its not that cold...! It is
however definitely wet, and equally
exhilarating. Please note Whitewave only caters
for beginners windsurfing. Hillwalking: The Trotternish ridge
provides some of the most spectacular fell
walking in Britain with its rounded moorland
hills carved by a huge craggy cliff with its
towering pinnacles and circling ravens. Our
favourite walk is the Quiriang which once seen,
either on a bright day with its stunning views,
or in its mysterious guise with swirling mists,
will never be forgotten. Around the area
are masses of other possibilities for walks of
varying lengths and degrees of strenuous. To
help people wanting to strike out on their own,
we can teach the basics of navigation. John has
over 30 years hill walking experience, and is a
qualified Summer Mountain Leader with the MLTB,
any staff are suitably qualified and
experienced. Archery and Bikes: Target archery
is really enjoyable, and usually becomes highly
competitive. We use fairly lightweight trainer
bows, but they are still powerful enough. We
don't put apples on peoples heads, but you'll be
surprised at how accurate your shooting will
become with just a short lesson. Go for gold
every time.
The only multi-activity provider in the Wester
Ross region offering kayaking, mountain guiding,
