🚨Safety doesn’t have to look boring.
These are our new Oshea Surf rescue paddleboards.
They handle beautifully and give the team complete peace of mind when we have busy groups out on the loch. 👌

You'll see us paddling them around the Jungle Float, providing safety cover for our summer events, and keeping an eye on everyday sessions.

What do you think of the colours? 👇

Built for instructors, by instructors.🛶
Most booking systems are clearly designed by people who spend their lives behind a desk. 🧑‍💼
You can tell the second you try to use them for an outdoor centre because they just don't get things like kit turnover, weather shifts, or instructor ratios.

The difference with Sailia is that it was built by people who have actually been out there doing the job.
It’s the reason Loch Insh Outdoor Centre fully recommends them.
They understand what it actually takes to run a centre, from the logistics of the gear to the reality of the sessions.
It doesn’t feel like another generic software package; it’s built for the way we actually work.
