SUP Explorer - The Best Places to Stand Up Paddle Board

Off of the west coast of Scotland, you'll find the Hebrides and beautiful flat water days on the stunning blue waters of the Atlantic. From Kilpheder to Askernish there's an unbelievable stretch of eleven miles of white sand on the west side of South Uist island. Enjoy the beautiful, clean, clear water with views looking over to the isle of Barra.
