We Are Running Surf Therapy At Lost Shore Surf Resort 30 October 2024

Scotland’s leisure and tourism industry is making waves as Lost Shore Surf Resort, the nation’s first inland surf destination. Located in Ratho, near Edinburgh, this game-changing attraction boasts Europe’s largest and most advanced wave pool. 

Set within extensive grounds, Lost Shore Surf Resort offers a range of amenities including accommodation, a waterfront bar, café, restaurant, surf school, surf shop, The Surfskate Academy, Spear Sauna, and wellness treatments. 

As the largest investment in Scottish sporting infrastructure since the 2014 Commonwealth Games, the resort is expected to welcome over 160,000 visitors annually, create more than 130 jobs, and contribute £11 million to the local economy each year. 

At the heart of Lost Shore Surf Resort is the state-of-the-art wave pool powered by Wavegarden technology. This colossal pool, three times the size of Wembley Stadium’s pitch, can generate up to 1,000 customisable waves per hour.

This new location will open up our Surf Therapy courses to young people in Glasgow, West Lothian and parts of Edinburgh that were previously too far away from the beach to attend. Our Scottish Surf Club members will have the unique opportunity to attend sessions both at the beach, and this fantastic new wave pool at Lost Shore.

Ruairidh Farquharson, Project Coordinator said: “We’ve seen first-hand the transformative power of surfing and community , particularly when it comes to supporting the mental health and wellbeing of young people. Our Surf Therapy intervention has proven to be truly life changing for the young people we work with and partnering with Lost Shore Surf Resort allows us to bring Surf Therapy into a state-of-the-art environment that’s accessible year-round. This facility will enable us to help even more children in Scotland experience the therapeutic benefits of surfing in a well located, accessible and controlled setting We’re thrilled to be part of this incredible development.”
