Become a Surf 2 Heal Volunteer in 2008

Surf Instructor Volunteers

            Our camp will be working on the basis of very low student to leader ratio. This will require us to have a well-trained group of volunteers both on and off the water. Our crew of Surf Instructors need to be highly skilled surfers and willing to embark on a specialist training program that will further increase their skills and ability to deliver a first class experience to the kids attending SURF 2 HEAL 2008. For the 5 days of the camp our instructors will need to work 2 surf lessons a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon on a 1-2-1 basis with a 5 to 8 year old child.

            Over the week we hope that our Instructors will build a rapport in the water with that child and show them the joys and opportunities available through surfing and time in the ocean.

  Our Camp will have specialist boards in use to allow both Instructor and student surf together on the one board.
