The Gathering of the Clans (Scottish Inter-Club Surfing Championships) is due to take place at Lost Shore Surf Resort on the 29thof November 2025 as well as our 50th Anniversary celebrations, starting on the 28thof November.
Clan Teams will be comprised of 6-8 competitors in the following divisions: Open Men (2), Open Women (2), Boys (1), Girls (1), Masters 40+ (1), Longboard (1).
Entry to the event is now open on ssf.justgo.com . Entry should be made by the club lead or clan chief and the total cost per team is £1062.50 which works out at £132.81 per head (which is a great deal considering what is included and the way in which we have been able to secure the pool for the event). Perhaps attendees will pay your club individually, but it is up to a representative from your club to cover this total cost on the system to confirm your team’s entry. Team entry is on a first come first served basis and spaces are limited! Clubs themselves can contribute to subsidise the per head cost for your team should your club wish to do so. Scottish Surfing Affiliated Clubs will be given priority entry into the event. Any non-affiliated clubs or organisations who wish to submit a team should contact info@scottishsurfing.scot in the first instance before registering.
The following items will be included with this cost:
- Entry into the GOTC surfing competition for a team of up to 8 surfers
- 1 x 4 bedroom lodge (sleeps 6-8 people) at Lost Shore for your club for 2 x nights (Fri, Sat)
- Evening reception with buffet dinner for 10
- 8 x 50th Anniversary Ceilidh tickets with Grouse (band)
- Discount for your club members to book additional accommodation at LSSR for the weekend of the Gathering of the Clans
- Discount for your club members to book additional surf sessions at LSSR for the week of the Gathering of the Clans
Please note that any athlete entering the Gathering of the Clans must be a current member of the club they wish to represent and be either eligible to represent Scotland or have their primary residence in Scotland. So should Kelly Slater wish to compete for your team he must be able to provide proof of residence : )
For any clubs or individual members requiring additional accommodation, or for any who do not wish to use their accommodation booked within this package, please contact Scottish Surfing in the first instance for the best deals or to help facilitate passing on your existing booking.
Extra tickets to the ceilidh are available to purchase on ssf.justgo.com at £27.50 a ticket for SSF members.
There will be additional activity at Lost Shore on the Friday evening and Saturday for our 50th Anniversary celebrations such as awards, Q&A session and a ’50 years of Scottish Surfing’ photo exhibition + more TBC.
