Coaching remains central toyour role — you continue delivering lessons, sessions and hosting duties asan active coach, while taking on day-to-day leadership across Surf Operations, supporting the Surf Instructor Manager with scheduling, oversight and mentoring.

You're the eyes and ears onthe ground — keeping sessions on time and well delivered, guests well lookedafter, the site tidy, and newer instructors supported. You take initiative and resolve day-to-day issues directly rather than waiting for escalation.
