Championing Women In The Water At Lost Shore

Posted: 27th February 2026

Celebrate International Women’s Day with all women’s surf sessions and film screenings

This International Women’s Day, Scotland’s pioneering inland surf destination Lost Shore Surf Resort,  is championing women in and out of the water with all-women surf lessons and sessions as well as two film screenings.

First up on Friday 6th March, Lost Shore is hosting a mini-film premiere and Q&A; ‘In Conversation with Amy Swims’. The evening starts with the premiere of Loch Ness Swim Challenge documentary film, before a Q&A session with the world record ultramarathon swimmer herself, Amy Ennion aka Amy Swims.

Tickets cost £15 with all profits going to Lost Shore’s affiliated charities; The Wave Project and Inclusive Surfing Scotland, that deliver surf therapy sessions for young people and adaptive surf sessions at Lost Shore, improving lives through surfing.

Then on Sunday 8th March, Lost Shore, recently named the world’s best surf park, is running dedicated all-women lessons for beginners and improvers, plus sessions on the Cruiser and Turns settings. Tickets are priced from £65 which also includes a hot buffet dinner at Lost Kitchen and an evening film screening focused on women in surfing.

Lee Wood, Lost Shore Surf Resort’s MD, said: “From the outset, we’ve wanted Lost Shore to feel welcoming to everyone. Creating dedicated space for women to surf together is part of that, whether it’s about feeling more relaxed trying something new or progressing without feeling self-conscious. Time and time again we see the experience is a joyful one!”
