Posted: 10 March 2024
It’s the best job in the world!
If spending your days at the beach sharing your love of surfing, helping people catch their first wave, with the opportunity to travel the world sounds like the dream, then becoming a surf instructor could be the best job you can get! Here are 5 reasons why you should become a Surfing Instructor.
1. Make the beach your office
Forget being stuck inside all day while the sun is shining and the surf is pumping. As a surf Instructor you get to spend as much time as you like at the beach and better yet when you have a break between lessons you’re ready to join the line up.
2. Follow the Seasons and Travel the world
ASI Instructor qualifications are recognised worldwide, so you can skip the winters and follow the sun. Being a surf instructor is a great way to explore the world as you can travel about finding work in new locations.

3. Community
You’ll be hard pressed to find a job which offers you the kind of social life and community that being a surf instructor does. Joined together with a shared passion of sunshine, sea and surfing you’re bound to make instant connections with your fellow surf instructors and beach goers. They may even become your travel buddies and life long friends.
4. Enjoy a Rewarding Career
Seeing the joy of someone catching their first wave that you directly helped them to achieve is so rewarding. This first wave could then lead on to a lifelong passion, hobby or even career for this person and you are responsible for helping them find their new found love of surfing.
5. Turn your passion into a career
“Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life”
By following your love for surfing and making it your career, you can spend your days enjoying what you do and bringing that enjoyment to your students.
