Gabrielle talks about becoming a Surf Instructor

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 five surf lessons a week, 3 to 4 fitness or yoga sessions a week and weekly surf theory. Between catching waves you have lots of free time which you can spend however you want. Your weekends are free to explore the surrounds, with unlimited board hire so you can surf as much as you want!

By the end of the 3 month course you can earn your ASI Level 1 Surf Coach certification. It’s optional and costs an additional A$1,000, collected only after you pass our internal evaluation. With it, you can walk away qualified to teach surf lessons worldwide!

Want the full picture first? Our guide to the surf instructor course in Australia sets out the steps, what the certification covers and what it costs.

Keen to follow in Gabrielle’s footsteps? Check out our 3 Month Surf Instructor Course in Australia or the 3 Month Surf Academy Instructor Course in Indonesia, then keep an eye on our Mojosurf jobs and internships.
