Waves in a quarry.

Edinburgh has found clever ways to get you on the water. In an old quarry at Ratho, a vast wave pool offers surf lessons for beginners and rolling waves for experts. Out on the Firth of Forth, you can learn to fly over the water on an electric hydrofoil board, with the bridges as a backdrop. Bring a sense of adventure, and expect to fall in.
