About the spot

Gott Bay is a major kite-teaching venue on Tiree. Its gently shelving sandy shore offers less shorebreak than the island’s exposed surf beaches in suitable conditions.

Wild Diamond selects the exact section according to wind and water level. The curved bay should not be treated as one identical launch for every wind direction.
