WHY Join?
With the success of the first Scottish SUP Fest, its happening again in 2027!!! and so is out SUP Classics Tour!!! We’re inviting you to turn your festival weekend into a full Scottish paddling adventure. Make the long journey up to the highlands truly worth it.
Join us for five days of White Water SUP, designed for the independent paddler who wants to explore some of Scotland’s classic rivers in a safe, social, and confidence-building environment.
Expect new friends, new rivers, and maybe even a new favourite whisky!
Accomodation
Each guest will have a single bed in shared, single-gender rooms. The lodges are comfortable, self-catered group accommodations with:
-
A large communal social space for evening downtime
-
Facilities for us to provide group meals on 3 of the 4 nights
-
A visit to a local pub (likely the Old Bridge Inn) on the other evening, this is NOT included.
-
A small drying room suitable for personal paddling gear
Last year we stayed at Badaguish Lodges, this is the plan for next year unless we decide to be based out of a different area to allow better access to different rivers. To be confirmed based on booking numbers
Paddling
Over the last 2 years and paddling throughout the Highlands, exploring a huge variety of rivers. We’re excited to share some of our favourite spots with you and make your week in the Highlands one to remember.
Our aim is to paddle five different river sections across the week. The exact plan will be shaped by your goals, experience, and group dynamics. Depending on the team, we may operate as one group or split into two to give you more tailored experiences.
We can also incorporate a half-day off during the week for rest, recovery, or even a sauna—especially useful as your adventure doesn’t end on Friday; the weekend is still ahead!
Sample Itinery
Monday - River Tay (Stanely Section)
Tuesday - Middle Findhorn
Wednesday - Middle Spean (possible half day/rest activity)
Thursday - River Garry
Friday - River Tay (Grandtully, Home of SUPFest2026)
However, this list is not limited there are many rivers in scotland. But it is definetly down to the rain gods as to what we can paddle!
Transport:
Transport to the rivers is not provided, but we’ll coordinate lift-sharing to spread the driving load. Distances in the Highlands can be large, so expect at least 1.5 hours of travel to paddling locations each day.

Who am I?
An Outdoor Adventure Guide who loves both the mountains and water. Find me climbing, paddling and chasing the next journey or hidden landscape.
I have been White Water Paddleboarding for over 3 years now and have had the privilege of running some of the UK's best white water and even being part of teams doing first descents from rivers in the Highlands to rivers in Nepal. This sport has opened up so many opportunities for me. I love to share it with other people.
"Had a great time on the Scottish Classics Whitewater SUP week. It was a well structured week that was responsive to the mixed ability levels of the group. The coaching from Richard and Devan was excellent; their insights really helped me improve my paddling."
"...Rich was wealth of knowledge and was always at hand to give you some guidance. He was great at being able to set you challenges to let you practice whilst always being supportive, positive and reassuring to help settle any nerves you might have whilst always offering to lead or follow closely if anyone was unsure or worried.
I honestly cannot recommend rich enough. A wonderful trip, well planned with some amazing memories from it and made some more paddling friends along the way too."
"thanks for an absolutely amazing week. Your coaching has been next level and has left me a lot to take away."
