Not a regular sight, but occasionally someone water-skiing can be spotted on Loch Indaal. Here we can see Uiskentuie in the background, another view has Bowmore in the background. Both seen from Bruichladdich pier.

I think it only lasted for one season (or maybe two?), back in 2008 James set up a watersports school at Loch Indaal. Here two young learners are having a go at windsurfing with Laggan Point in the distance in the background.
