Join our Team – Work as a Seasonal Surf Instructor at our Surf Camp in Nicaragua
Chica Brava is seeking enthusiastic and experienced surf instructors for our women’s retreats in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua. This is your chance to work abroad, improve your Spanish (though Spanish isn’t required), and immerse yourself in a vibrant, supportive community with world-class waves at your doorstep.
At Chica Brava, we’re all about empowering women through surfing. Our retreats combine top-level instruction with a focus on creating unforgettable experiences for our guests. Picture yourself waking up to the sounds of monkeys rather than an alarm clock and spending your days teaching in the warm Pacific Ocean.
Why Join Us?
- Competitive pay
- Assistance in settling into San Juan del Sur
- A workday centered around tides and surf: 3 hours of daily instruction + beach time,, socializing with guests, and plenty of time in the water
What We’re Looking For
This is a seasonal position which runs from mid-February to mid-December (with October off). Preference will be given to candidates who are available for the full season. Ideal candidates will have:
- Surfing experience (intermediate level or higher)
- Experience with surf travel (preferred)
- Instruction/coaching experience (surfing, swimming, or related fields)
- CPR/First Aid certification (we can assist with renewal if hired)
- Strong teamwork skills and experience (team sports, college groups, work groups)
Join Our Team
If you share our passion for surfing, responsibility, honesty, and integrity, and are ready to inspire women from around the globe, we’d love to hear from you!
Please send your (1) resume, (2) cover letter, and (3) photos and/or video of yourself surfing to info@chicabrava.com for consideration!
