Surf Guide / Coach

Part time / contractor

Get paid to go on a surf trip to King Island, surf sick waves and share the stoke with other people. Yep, that’s pretty much the job.

King Island Surf Safaris are looking for someone to guide our guests around King Island in search of the best waves to surf. As well as being the surf guide you will be the team leader and surf coach, making sure our guests get the complete surf package as well as having a great time.

Based / flying out of Barwon Heads Airport the job will be around one weekend per month but may vary as the role develops. We are searching other remote island destinations around Australia which would mean the possibility to guide groups to explore these new locations.

As well as making sure our groups are on the best waves and having a great experience, you’ll have plenty of opportunity to get your own surfing fix. Around half your time will be spent coaching and rest of the time free surfing with the group as guide / leader. Again, your role will be fine tuned and develop as we find the best possible solution to making sure our guests needs are met.

  • You must be an absolute surf frother.

  • Accredited surf coach with experience - would be good but not essential.

  • You will organise dates and work with our team on promoting selected “guided tour” dates via our online and social channels.

  • You will be in charge of taking bookings and managing these trips in our calendar system.

  • Contacting our guests and managing their expectations and needs for the trips.

  • We are offering an attractive pay rate which is negotiable depending on experience ect.

  • You are keen to learn all facets of the island; surf spots, history of the area, local fauna and flora, create local contacts to best serve our customers accurately and promptly.
