Frequently Asked Questions

  • Although it can be helpful to have a surf background, it is not required for most roles.

  • Both! We offer a mix of part-time and full-time roles depending on the position and time of year. Many team members start part-time and grow into expanded roles over time.

  • We’re busiest during peak season, but we also have year-round roles and opportunities for returning team members. If you’re looking for a long-term place to grow, let us know—we love building continuity on our team.

  • We hire team members 16 and older. Specific roles may require additional training or certifications, but we provide clear guidance and support every step of the way.

  • Fast-paced, fun, and very real. You’ll be on your feet, outdoors, working as part of a tight-knit team to create unforgettable guest experiences. There’s sun, movement, music, teamwork—and yes, sunscreen. It’s not a desk job, and that’s exactly why people love it.

  • People who:

    Bring positive energy and stay calm under pressure

    Care about safety, teamwork, and guests

    Don’t mind getting a little wet (or sandy)

    Pitch in when things get busy

    Take pride in doing things the right way

    If you like structure and spontaneity, you’ll fit right in.

  • Our hours vary by role and season. Expect a mix of mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays especially during peak season. Flexibility is key, and we do our best to work with availability whenever possible.

  • Definitely. We provide training for every role, and no one is expected to know everything on day one. Safety, service, and teamwork are core to what we do, and we’ll make sure you feel confident before you’re on your own.

  • Besides working at a surf lagoon (which is already pretty cool):

    Beach access / surf perks

    Team events and a strong community vibe

    Partner swag and discounts

    Opportunities to grow and return season after season

    Sunshine, movement, and an energy you won’t find in an office

  • Our team reviews applications on a rolling basis. If it looks like a good fit, we’ll reach out to schedule an interview. From there, we’ll walk you through next steps, training, and onboarding so you know exactly what to expect.

  • Absolutely! If you’re open to multiple roles or think your skills could fit in different areas, let us know! We love versatile team members.
