Surf Lessons
Level up at Lost Shore
Coached in groups of up to 8 people, our friendly ISA qualified instructors will help you feel comfortable and confident on the waves from the get-go.
From shore to surf:
master the basics in 90 minutes
The first 30 minutes of your lesson will start on land, where you will learn all of the necessary skills for your level. We will then hit the water and put your learnings into practise for the remaining 60 minutes.
All gear provided — just bring your swimsuit & towel
We will kit you out with everything you need for your lesson, including a wetsuit, boots, gloves, hood and importantly… a surfboard! All you need to bring are your swimmers and a towel.
Arrive early, stay safe:
what to know before you surf
Getting here in good time is super important. Before your lesson
you’ll need to check in, get changed and attend a health & safety briefing – please allow 60 minutes for this.

Find the right lesson for you
Beginner
From £65 (£55 child)
These lessons take place in the bay of the Cove; the area nearest to the shoreline. The bay offers slow moving, knee-high, whitewater waves, which are perfect for beginner surfers to learn, practise and have fun in a safe and controlled environment.
Suitable for: People who have never surfed before or surfers who want to develop or refine the basics.
Wave height: Knee-high
Improver
From £65 (£55 child)
Taking place on the reef, on slow peeling open-face waves at thigh to waist height, these lessons are ideal for surfers who would like to learn how to master take-off, control the trajectory of their board and trim along the open-face of the wave.
Suitable for: Surfers that are competent riding white water waves or intermediate surfers that haven’t surfed a Wavegarden Cove before.
Wave height: Thigh to waist high
Improver Plus
From £70
Our Improver Plus lesson takes your surfing progression to the next level. Building on the foundations of the Improver lesson, you’ll move to our Cruiser Plus wave, offering a longer, slightly steeper face and more speed for refining your techniques.
Suitable for: Surfers who have graduated from the Improver lesson or consistently catch their own waves on Cruiser sessions or ocean green waves, trimming along the face on gentle waves.
Those looking to sharpen their technique, gain confidence, and prepare for more intermediate and advanced sessions.
Wave height: Waist high
