We're searching for an experienced Senior Surf Coach to come join our team at Sunshinestories!
As a Surf Coach you will lead up to 5 students through a week of surfing; daily in-water surf lessons, video analysis and surf theory classes. Moreover you will assist the Surf Manager with various projects. You are continuously developing your own surfing and can perform advanced manoeuvres on various types of surfboards, both long and short but more important you're an ocean lover and your lifestyle allows you to spend most of your time in and around the ocean which is what you love the most.
You are also a good communicator and know how to explain the technical aspects of surfing, ranging from someone that has never surfed before through to experienced surfers, in a fun and interactive way. You are not afraid to stand in front of people and teach surfing, not only at the ocean but also in the classroom as you will lead surf theory classes daily about different topics.
You are open to surf all kinds of surf craft and really enjoy every time you get to go in the ocean and play. You are a responsible surfer and take great precautions to keep your students safe and stoked.
Organisational and computer skills are important as you'll be doing video editing and management daily for the video analysis sessions conducted on a 1-1 basis for each student. This is where we break down the more technical aspects of surfing and are able to give valuable advise to the student.
