If the idea of spending 3 months buy the beach surfing every day, living the life and meeting loads of cool people every day is too long, well we also have a 1 month intensive surf instructor course as well.
Beach Lifeguard
Training is intensive and takes 28 days, it is physical and tough, but so are lifeguards. You will learn how to rescue distressed swimmers and surf like a pro (necessary to be a lifeguard). Afterwards finding work that pays up to
500 a week should be a breeze, and you get to work on the beach!
