Total number is 100. But it needs to be mentioned that 24 of those would be at the Lorne school Dolls house bunkrooms. So the total numbers if you wish to be at Surf Clubhouse “only” the number is 76. This is in 7 separate bunkrooms. Bedrooms and bathrooms are under the one roof.

How can I learn to surf if I can’t even swim? |
| |
Don’t stress over this. Our surf lessons are 90% tailored to beginners level. Your lesson is conducted in “waist deep” water. This is because you get most success in balance and control when surfing the “broken waves.”

Do I have to wear a wetsuit? |
Back to Top ^ |
| |
Yes. The reason being they obviously keep you warm, therefore ensuring you will gain the most out of your 2 hour lesson. There is an added safety reason as a wetsuit will help to float you, protect you from skin rashes, and sunburn.

What happens if we get really cold during the lesson? |
Back to Top ^ |
| |
This is most unlikely as Lorne is one of the safest and most sheltered surf beaches on the coast, because it faces east, and not south, where the cold winds come from. Our wetsuits which are provided, and individually fitted, to all participants, are of excellent quality. If this proves insufficient, we have the added safety benefit of piping hot showers directly on the foreshore in the Lorne Clubhouse. We make it our business to have the possibility of “cold” covered from all angles.

Do you own this building? |
| |
I wish I did! No, there is no possibility of a single person being able to own such a special facility as this. It is owned by the Lorne Surf Lifesaving Club, which is on what is known as “Crown Land” known as the Lorne Foreshore Reserve

How much does it cost? |
Back to Top ^ |
| |
Our prices at Club Lorne Camp are in line with most school camp costs. When comparing costs it is important to remember that Club Lorne is a fully Accredited Camp with the ACA. This means all industry approved standards are met in terms of booking procedures, safety standards, and of course the required $10 million public liability insurance. While most surf related activities do incur a charge, many of our activities at Club Lorne are free of charge. You will find our surf related activity costs to be very competitive with other surf schools in this area.
Minimum numbers required are:
50 October - April
25 May - September
