Buachaille Etive Beag is located in between Glencoe and Glen Etive. It is also known as the ”wee Buachaille”. It hosts two peaks, Stob Dubh and Stob Coire Raineach, that form a ridge of about 3 km/1 mi, running at a southwest-northeast direction.
The most common route that hill-walkers prefer, starts from the A82 carpark at the head of Glencoe. This walk suits more to those practitioners who look for an out of risk way to see the wild, dramatic scenery of Scotland. There is a newly constructed path to the bealach. After reaching the first stream, the walk continues easily up the lairig, which is a pass between mountains. When the descent begins, you should be more careful as the terrain becomes muddy, especially after a heavy rain.
In general, although this route is easy, it has some stream crossings that may be dangerous after heavy rain. The truth is that weather conditions may be really unpredictable in Scotland. The navigation is easy in clear weather but it could be difficult in poor visibility.
The huge benefit of stand up paddle surfing over regular surfing is that much smaller less steep waves are catchable before they break, and as the boards are much more stable it is easier to pick up. Additionally, as you start in a standing position, there is no popping up onto the SUP, while the paddle can be used for extra stability and drive on the wave.
Camber offers some for stand up paddle surfing with both small and big waves.
