No I think you may be out of luck.
Ive thoroughly googled it and looked on yellow pages, but nothing. There is a sports shop but it looks a bit too small to stock surfboards. I cant even find anywhere that would sell you a surfboard within 50 miles.
But then again I cant believe someone would travel from California to Thurso for the surf.

Not traveling there for surf; going to the UK for a wedding. But since I do surf, and since Thurso supposedly has the best surf in the entire UK, I wanted to check it out.

Thanks; they've apparently turned into a more of a cafe now, not much of a surf shop. Their web site and email don't work either....Smile
