Operating as a wakeboard school, the duo soon realised the demand for high-quality wakeboard boats. In 2010, they purchased their first Super Air Nautique, a decision that marked the inception of Scotland Nautique.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/289570/image/large-1acd8711344df048bb472940fece42bd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/289570">Raymond Colquhoun, the current European wakesurf champion, brought his decades of water sports experience to the table.
