Lying at 59 degrees north, Thurso will be the most Northern wave spot on the planet to host a professional surfing event. However it is not enough to deter the best surfers in the world from travelling to these waves, which on their day can rival the north shore of Hawaii.

With its inspired mobile format, the Coldwater Classic Scotland is free to choose between Scotland's prime surfing venue and the fast reef break of Thurso East, the shallow hollow at The Bowl of Brim's Ness, and the classic beach break of Strathy.
