Surf Dude or Surf Instructor Essential InfoThese courses will turn you into a surfing legend, impressing all who watch you dominating the waves (just don't blame us if you are talking surfer speak gibberish after the course is through). Three months is all we need to get you to the standard of instructor, 3 months just devote to surfing in some of Australia's prime surf spots. Food and full board (no pun intented). Prepare to be "stoked" by the sand, sun and surf. How stoked will you be? "Super-stocked" "mega-stoked" "stoked to the max," and downright "stockaboka."
Course OverviewThis gap year course will either improve your basic surf skills over 1 or 2 months or get you up to surf instructor standard. Of course that is if you want to, you are welcome to just spend 3 long months surfing every day. Pretty sweet. Duuuude.
