Why Surf Internships?
Work experience is always a good idea. Yet too often people find that the only thing they are getting experience in is making coffee at a company they have no real desire to work for. At Surf Internships we want to combine your interest in surfing with a unique opportunity to gain real experience in the many diverse sectors of Surf Industries around the world.
By living and working alongside local surfers you will have a unique insight into how they do their business, yet perhaps more importantly, you will also be absorbing their language and culture. In return, you should find that your own views and opinions, as a foreigner, will provide a new and stimulating perspective for your employers and consequently you may find yourself with much more responsibility than if you were doing a regular internship in your own country.
Here at Surf Internships we strongly believe that placements should be 'more than just work experience'. Therefore in addition to undoubtedly being invited on some truly epic surf trips, you will find that your co-workers will also want to teach you about their culture, by taking you to their favourite sites, restaurants and bars. In this way we are confident that you will enhance your CV in a incredibly unique way whilst learning far more about a country and its people than you ever could have as a tourist...
