The Wave are on the
lookout for aspiring surf coaches to come and join us for the 2025 season!
We understand a
barrier to achieving the required coaching qualifications can often be the cost
and the location of course providers. We want to make this easier for aspiring
Surf Coaches. We will therefore cover the cost of you training upfront, provide
equipment and ensure you have guaranteed work for the season ahead.

a look at our video where current Wavemakers detail what it means to become a
Wave Surf Coach with our in-house qualification!

The Training Contract
You will be required
to enter into a training agreement, whereby, subject to completing a minimum
amount of hours during your employment you will incur no charge for the cost of
the course. For individuals who don’t meet these hours, a proportionate charge
will be deducted on your final pay. The training agreement will set out the
full cost implications.
What happens at the
end of the contract?
It may be possible for
the participants to continue working for us as part of our casual bank of
workers at the end of the fixed-term contract. We also hope that we would see
you return as part of The Wave family in subsequent seasons.
Interviews will be held on 27th February 2025
