The Lost Shore Surf Resort is Edinburgh's coolest new activity centre and so much more. Set beside the International Climbing Arena in Ratho to the west of the city and close to the airport, Lost Shore is centred around Europe's largest surf pool. In addition to the pool the site includes luxury lodges, a wellness centre and events space, a restaurant, saunas and a surf shop. Even in mid January the place was buzzing!
The technology within the pool creates a range of waves that are ideal for beginners to professionals and is a brilliant place to learn how to surf, or to hone your skills. I met with Andy Hadden who has spent 12 years raising finance, designing the location and finally getting to open this amazing place.
Listen to the story behind the development, hear how the waves are created, how people manage to be warm enough to surf in Scotland's winter and explore the site with me as I interview Andy beside the crashing waves while watching some seriously cool surfing!
