Just a quick film if some big wave action at Thurso East filmed in Super-PanaScreen which is 2 x wider than 16:9ratio but best seen on the cinema screen. Either way, enjoy the surf.

  • The wave certainly does get way better than this although I don't think there is anything wrong with the tides- nature does it's own thing. We simply film when there's a wave with someone on it. Thurso East is a 6-star competition venue on the World Qualifying circuit and is 9th best wave in the world.

  • 1st wave looked fun. 2nd wave i would definitely pussy out.

    That water must be fucking freezing by the way.

  • The water isn't too bad really. It varies by 1 degree through the season and is warmed by the Gulf stream. You can swim in it in just shorts. Thewaves certainly get big, that's why I stay on the shore!

  • It varies by more than that! At the start of Autumn the sea is about 14 deg and then goes down to about 5 deg about January time. When It's been been snowing its much colder as the river pisses icy water straight into the lineup.

  • @osu45f The overall sea temperature remains consistant. At the shoreline it varries due to freshwater like you say but it is only the fresh water that changes temperature so widely.

  • @ECsponger2 they are only wearing hoods and gloves as when they stand up they would be freezing from the temperature and the wind chill factor as well but the sea as stated above dose not vary to much !!!!

  • @OM3N1R They weren't even wearing gloves or hoods so it wasn't even close to being cold. And the bodyboarder was the best outta em all

  • The 'spat out' wave looked like mini-cold Pipe.

  • Thurso East is a better wave than this film shows, you've got the swell from the wrong direction that day and the tides are wrong, wave very full. It's a fast wave that doesn't break down in the right conditions.

    If Thurso East is working no-one oges left!

  • Hey man I live in Aberdeen I used to live in Brazil where I surfed a lot, since moving back to Aberdeen I havent done any surfing! But I will be getting my driving licence in a few weeks so i have a lot more opportunity to go searching for waves. Where would you reccomend travelling from Aberdeen? and also is a trip up to thurso worth it? I am not a pro or anything I amcomfortable in 5-8ft waves

  • If I were there, I'd be paddling out on a 7'6! You guys were tearing it up on those shredsticks. Good on you guys!

  • clean waves !
