The sunlight formed a spotlight on the loch as the sun, caught between two mountains, shone a beam, picking out my board’s fluorescent orange nose cone. I was concentrating on moving back a little; the waves had increased slightly, and the nose was cutting into the black waters of Loch Ness. I was alone in the middle of Loch Ness in my pool of light. 100% of my concentration centred literally on a 26-inch wide, 14-foot long board halfway along 40km of near open water.
