This September, O’Neill’s Rookie Rippers comes to Lost Shore Surf Resort. Handpicked by legendary surf coach Philippe Malvaux, the field includes 16 junior surfers, 2 UK wildcards, and 2 inspiring young athletes from the charity Surfers Not Street Children. Based in South Africa and Mozambique, the charity empowers vulnerable children and young people through surfing, offering mentorship and support to help them build brighter futures both in and out of the water.
Over the weekend, the surfers will be mentored by Team O’Neill athletes and guided by a world-class coach.
Catch all the action as these future surf stars compete for a 2-year O’Neill sponsorship and a place on Team O’Neill. The Rookie Rippers weekend will also feature film screenings, workshops, DJs, free-to-watch competition heats and, of course, surf sessions and lessons to book onto.

Thinking of making a trip of it? Book into Lost Shore’s incredible on-site accommodation and be part of the action all weekend long.
