Student numbers, ability level, age restrictions etc

There will be a maximum of 14 surfers per session in the pool, allowing for ample 1-1 in-depth coaching throughout the retreat and an approximate 18+ wave opportunities per session per surfer!

Low intermediate+ sessions will utilise appropriately sized wave settings from the WaveGarden menu. Intermediate+ will also focus on appropriately sized waves which allow for high performance surfing without a high risk. Barrel settings or air settings will not be utilised. Please see this video for examples of the settings used in retreats.

Provided you can independently catch waves in each session, you are at the perfect level, and we can help you progress forward. Your paddle fitness should be moderate to high.

Surfers under the age of 15 require a parental figure present on the day . Surfers under 10 are not permitted to join without prior approval.

What to bring

Wetsuit

The pool water is unheated and generally mirrors local Scottish conditions, around 12–16°C (54–61°F) in summer months like June. This means you’ll want a good cold water wetsuit (depending on your sensitivity). Kale wears a 4/3 with boots in these conditions at the lower end, and a straight 4/3 at the upper end.

Surfboard

Bring the board that you'd surf in small to medium waves. Lost Shore will also have surfboards available for hire, but be sure to leave an additional 30 minutes to organise pre-retreat. We recommend a surfboard from kalebrockdesigns.com
