We might be heading into the dark depths of the Australian winter, but - apart from Tasmania - nothing quite comes close to the blistering icy chills of Scotland. At least they've got some filthy waves. Mal Anderson has the evidence.

Cool.
No, really.
There's something about peat-brown water that instinctively tells me it's gonna be bloody cold.
You're not wrong Ben. Thurso is a long way north and pretty inconsistent but when we got there in mid November it was firing...like the vid complete with brown/green water. A couple of mates & I paddled out there (this was '80 when wetties weren't nearly as good but we were a lot braver) and suffice to say the waves were awesome but the ice cream headaches awesomer.
Damn fine looking wave
Surfed that area in the mid 80s and was impressed with all the set-ups. No crowds back then.
great song to put to a surf vid
