The Loch Stock tour began in 2008 with a hugely successful one day event. The enthusiasm from the all the riders and sponsors was overwhelming and the concept very quickly snowballed into a three stop tour, with the idea of taking the event all round the country. The tour has gained a huge following from the UK wakeboard community and even further afield, as well as generating a massive amount of interest from sponsors who clearly see Scottish wakeboarding as a worthwhile investment.
The tour is now firmly established and brings together all the pockets of riding from around Scotland for one epic weekend a month during the Summer. The tour isn’t just about riding any more either; as the festival side of the tour has grown, a Loch Stock weekend is the perfect place to get into the summer spirit, and enjoy good music and company at the water’s edge. Partygoers arrive on friday evening to chill out after a week at work, let the beers flow and support the local school. Saturday is all about progression, with coaching from our pro riders, girly sessions and a Nautique trade stand to help you find your perfect boat. We have full liquid force demo kit for you to try before you buy, plus a healthy dose of live DJ sets, Relentless energy drink and a good old fashioned party. All of our locations have accommodation of some sort, so stay over and make a weekend of it- remember to quote “Loch Stock” when booking!
Things are changing in Scotland and we’re ready to make our mark on the UK map; now is the time to get involved. Whether you’ve just strapped on a board for the first time, or you spend more time looking at the back of a boat than anything else your involvement makes a difference. So get your diary, get yourself to the tour stops and come support whether you ride or not. Until then let’s get together and do what love the most; ride!
