SURF INSTRUCTOR COURSES

For the surfers that wants to travel & a bit of a beach bum at heart with a thrill seeking love of the surf, nothing beats turning your favourite past time into a full blown career. They always say, find something you love, and then start doing it for a living. And nothing could be truer.


For the ultimate surf instructor course starts here, the ISA (International Surf Association) surf instructor and SUP instructor training courses are the most widely recognised and internationally approved courses, meaning you can teach at surf schools both here in the UK and abroad too.

Here in Pembrokeshire, you can be assured of an entirely comprehensive, successful and safe surf course, allowing you to either add to your existing qualifications or kick start a new career here in Wales - We love to have fun and enjoy the surf but take our training seriously at the same time.


On either course, you won’t just improve on your technical skills and ability to show others the ropes, but will acquire a great variety of soft skills too essential for effectively and safely leading, engaging and supporting a group of budding surfers.

SURF INSTRUCTOR AND SUP INSTRUCTOR COURSES THAT WE OFFER IN THE UK & IN EUROPE

 You can undertake either your ISA level 1 or level 2 surf instructor course or Flat water SUP instructor courses from our awesome coast side base st Freshwater West, Wales Set on a stunning stretch of coastline, there’s probably no better spot to undertake your training and take the first or even the next steps towards becoming a qualified surf instructor.


You can also transfer an existing ASI/BSA surf coach award to an International Surf Coach award too, or do a combined course of your SLSGB beach lifeguard award and surf coach level 1 or 2, since the lifeguard qualification is a prerequisite of undertaking these courses.



Beach lifeguard courses in Pembrokeshire

SLSGB SURF LIFEGUARD COURSE IN PEMBROKESHIRE
£195 PER PERSON

The SLSGB Surf Lifeguard Award is internationally recognised and is one the most comprehensive lifeguard courses in the world. It is the preferred qualification for individuals wishing to take up employment within the RNLI Beach Lifeguard Service.


This course is not for the faint hearted.  The training involves running, swimming, rescuing and dragging casualties through the surf zone and up the beach using rescue boards and rescue tubes. Course modules include amongst others, lifeguard and first aid theory, CPR and spinal management.


Candidates must be over 16 years of age, physically fit and able to swim 400 metres in under 7:30 minutes (first 200 meters under 3:30) along with a 200 meter beach run in under 40 seconds.

This course is ideal for individuals that want to keep their options open as the qualification allows you to work as a surf instructor, but also as a beach lifeguard. If you only wish to work as a surf instructor, then you can take the shorter ‘Surf Coach Safety and Rescue Award’ that also has no timed swim.
