Surf Lessons
Level up at Lost Shore
Coached in groups, 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.
