Utilising the incredible facilities at Lost Shore in Scotland, this event takes the unpredictability out of surfing and guarantees an unprecedented number of perfect-wave opportunities for progression each day (24-hour period).
By using high quality video analysis techniques and in-water coaching during sessions, Kale will assist surfers to dramatically improve their on-wave performance throughout the retreat. All surfers will receive a copy of their video analysis that takes place on the retreat + their videos from all sessions.
“I’ve seen surfers progress months, if not years, in one day at my wave pool retreats. This is the best tool we have to fast track your surfing progress.” - Kale

Low intermediate+ sessions will utilise appropriately sized wave settings from the WaveGarden menu.

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.

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
Other gear:
* Snacks and a water bottle. Restaurants are also available on site.
