Surf Sessions
Find your wave in one of our surf sessions and enjoy the perfect ride! The sessions are hosted by one of our team members, who will be able to guide you on how to maximise your experience, as well as being there to answer any questions. You will share your surf with a group of up to 20 people. Please make sure you book the right session for your ability.
Surf sessions are 60 minutes long, during which you should be able to catch around 10-15 waves. Surf etiquette in the Cove is fundamental for us, so everybody should have an equal opportunity to catch their waves undisturbed.Â
Surfing can be enjoyed in several different ways – with a bodyboard, shortboard, mid-length or a kneeboard to name just a few. Find the perfect fit for your board by reading our session descriptions or get in contact with us.Â
As a rule of thumb, we tend to recommend that if in doubt, go for the board with more volume to start with. Wetsuits and softboards are available to use as a part of your session, however you are welcome to bring your own equipment or rent a surfboard from our board hire range.
You must arrive at least 60 minutes before the start of your session to leave time to check in and get changed. Before arriving at Lost Shore, you will need to watch our Health & Safety video and sign a waiver.Â
It is also important to attend the onshore part of your lesson or the 15 minute health and safety briefing before your session starts.
If you have any questions, we recommend that you have a look at our Surf terms and Surf safely pages for more information.
Please note that wave height is based on the average height of an adult.
