Scottish Junior Training Squad supports selected surfers ages 10 to 17 who have the commitment, potential and attributes to perform in competitive surfing and who strive to represent their country. 

Scottish surfers selected to the squad are among the best in their age categories and can show dedication, a willingness to learn, ambition, fitness, fair play, competitive and team player attributes and skills relative to their age brackets.  

Scottish Surfing Federation Junior Squad training opportunities are led by the SSF Junior Squad Head Coach Craig ‘Suds’ Sutherland.   Suds said:

“I am delighted to announce that we are inviting applications to join the SSF Junior Training Squad. If you are one of Scotland’s best young surfers aged 10 to 17 and meet the criteria, then we would encourage you to step forward. We will be running regular training at Lost Shore and in the ocean with the opportunity to attend overseas coaching. Water based focus will be on technical and competitive aspects. The programme will also include dryland training with surf-skating, strength & conditioning, mobility work and classroom sessions. The aim is to help you develop your surfing to enable you to compete at the top level by utilising the amazing facilities and resources available to us.” 

Paul Stark, SSF CEO said:

“Young people are at the heart of the Scottish Surfing Federation’s new strategy and are the future of the sport in Scotland. Working in partnership with GB Surfing and the Lost Shore Surf Resort, we are thrilled to offer a pathway to performance for our future surfing superstars, supporting their development and helping them excel on a world stage. We would welcome applications from across our diverse and inclusive surfing community and I look forward to meeting our next generation of talented Scottish athletes soon.”
