Become a Surf Instructor: Gabrielle's Story

Give up your day job and become a surf instructor with Mojosurf!

Imagine waking up in the morning and walking less than a minute to the beach. Find yourself among dolphins while enjoying a free surf in the early morning waves. After working up an appetite join your new friends for breakfast before getting ready for your next surf lesson. Following lunch take time to relax in the hammocks or back at the beach and in the evening chill around the campfire. Surf, rinse, rest, repeat. During the 3 month academy at our beachfront Surf Camp, Spot X, you will improve your surfing skills, ocean knowledge and surf fitness. Enjoy daily surf lessons, 3 fitness lessons a week and 2 surf theory classes a week. Between catching waves you have lots of free time which you can spend however you want. Your weekends are free to go explore the surrounds with unlimited access to the surfboards and surf gear to go surf as much as you want! After the 3 month course you will take your exam to receive your Level 1 Surf Coach Certificate. Now you can live and work by the beach all over the world as a qualified surf instructor!
