Loch Lomond Wakeboard is a Glasgow, Scotland–based provider of watersports and leisure trips on Loch Lomond and nearby waterways. The business operates self-hire paddling options — kayak hire and stand-up paddleboard (SUP) hire — that allow paddlers to explore sheltered waters at Loch Lomond’s north end, including River Falloch and Island Ivow. Wetsuit hire is included with paddle rentals.
Powered and coached experiences depart from Ardlui, offering 1-hour and 2-hour luxury speedboat trips that glide past Inveruglas and Island Ivow and provide views of Rob Roy’s cave from the water. Speedboat trips accommodate up to 10 people and feature a high-quality JL Audio sound system. Tow-sports sessions use state-of-the-art Nautique boats for wakeboarding, wakesurfing, waterskiing and ringo rides.
Wakesurfing is delivered with personalised 1-to-1 coaching and is suitable for ages 10 and up. Waterskiing, wakeboarding and ringo rides accept participants aged 8 and up; many sessions run for one hour and include all necessary equipment. Wakeboarding sessions include an introductory dryland lesson to familiarise riders with basic techniques.
Loch Lomond Wakeboard supplies essential gear for both rental and tow-sport activities to enable straightforward participation for beginners, families and experienced riders. The business focuses on delivering memorable on-water experiences around iconic Loch Lomond landmarks, with choices for solo adventurers, families and small groups.
