Scotland surf

We delve into the HUCK archives to revisit our feature on the early days of surfing in Scotland from Chris Nelson's surf book, Cold Water Souls.

'There are more obvious winter playgrounds here in Northern Scotland than this frozen coast. Take for example the vast arenas high above sea level, where a multi-coloured mosaic of skiers zig-zag down leeward slopes to waiting lifts. During the dark season temperatures can drop into the minus twenties on high land, while the lowlands too can feel the cutting edge of the northerly fronts that blow out of the Arctic.' – Chris Nelson

Check out the full feature in HUCK#024 in our Digital Archive.
