Brave windsurfers showed off their skills as they took on the waves off Helensburgh during the intense weather last weekend.
The daredevils were spotted on the waters off the town’s pier on Saturday, April 6 as they took advantage of the high winds.
Destination Helensburgh shared the pictures in a post on Facebook which gained over 170 reactions from impressed locals.
The town has strong links to water sports, and they are popular among both locals and tourists.
Destination Helensburgh’s Anne Foy said: “Helensburgh's link with the Clyde is really important for tourism.
“Henry Bell originally came to Helensburgh in 1806 to develop it as a resort for sea bathing which brought early visitors to the town, and there is a long history of local swimming and sailing events.
“Nowadays you regularly see windsurfers, SUPs and kayakers on the water, and Helensburgh is the start point of the Argyll Sea Kayak Trail to Ganavan near Oban.
