Located in Lochmaddy on North Uist,
Uist Outdoor Centre
offers a wide range of sea kayak courses and expeditions and annually host a sea kayak symposium at the end of August. These pictures were taken during a week long sea kayaking course for intermediate sea kayakers (skills, rescue and navigation sessions, an overnight trip and a surf session). All in the stunning and challenging sea kayak environment that the Outer Hebrides is so famous for. Countless islands, beaches and cliffs; sea and Atlantic ocean.
