Program Details

What we expect: someone positive, full of energy, genuinely interested in learning new skills and helping out, in sharing and connecting with people from all over the World, and sharing our love for surfing, the ocean and nature, no matter your surf experience.

What you can expect from us: you will be provided with a clear list of the activities you are in charge of, and the time you are expected to be at the Surf House. We will show you everything on your first days and always remain open to any questions throughout the stay. You will have a private accommodation at the Surf House, shared bathroom and kitchen, and free access to all house facilities, in addition to a surfboard and wetsuit to go surfing on your free time.

Activities & Shift

You should be at the Surf House between 9h-12h and 15h-17h, which are the moments when guests are the most active (surf lesson, rentals, check-in and out...). However, as the host of the house, living in the house, you should always be approachable and helpful if a guest needs an information at any time (when you are in common areas like garden, living room, etc). You will also find plenty of free time during the day to explore the area, go surfing, relax... and our hosts have always enjoyed joining guests for a surf, restaurant, drink or even parties, which is a great moment for you and contributes to your hosting role! A win-win :-)

Your activities (hosting and housekeeping) are detailed in a document we give you before your arrival at the house and discussed with us when we meet in person as we show you the place and everything you might need.
