The Loch Insh Watersports Centre is situated in fourteen acres of woodland beside seven hundred acres of beautiful Highland loch. It was opened in 1969 and offers a great variety of water sports. The centre employs qualified instructors and trainers who will teach the basic and advanced skills.
Windsurfing is a fun sport to learn. You will be taken through the basics of balancing on the board, to one-handed forward loops, to surfing free through the waves. Such a diverse activity is windsurfing that there will always been something new to learn. The loch has a relatively clean wind from the south to south-west and from the north east funnelling down the Spey valley.
Windy days are best during the hours of around 11 o’clock and the wind is at its strongest from two o'clock into the evening. There is a huge collection of up to date equipment that fits all ages. You may book a private lesson or a comprehensive 2-5 day course. If you want to try something different, the centre caters for
sailing, canoeing, kayaking, skiing, fishing, rowing, biking, archery, rafting and walking.
