Job Description

What will you do?

At our surf school, we believe happiness can come from the simplest of things. Being with the people that matter, having a moment to relax, feeling the wind on your face as you paddle out beyond the break. It’s helping guests find those moments of happiness, away from the complications of the everyday, that makes us who we are, draws the right people to us and sees them go far.

Does seeing learners catch their first green wave fill you up? Do you know the tiny tweaks that will help improving surfers sharpen their bottom turn? Do you live for light offshores and love sharing the joy of the ride with your students? Does zero admin and more water time appeal? Then you could be one of the freelance surf instructors we’re looking for.

We need experienced instructors, with a passion for waves and a flair for teaching, to deliver surf lessons as part of our team. You’ll need to hit the ground running straight away so we only want people with solid instructor hours already behind them. In return we’ll maximise your water time and pay competitively to match your talents.

You’ll embody the spirit of our company with your friendly welcome, positive can-do attitude and attention to detail, helping every learner in your group get the most out of their session. Whatever the conditions you’ll brighten up the beach with your spirit and energy and every class you take will come away fired up to get back in the sea as soon as they can.
