If this job popped up in exactly 12 months time I would be all over it like a bintang singlet on a bogan.


Speak Indo: check
Nautical experience in Indonesia: check
Boat maintenance and vessel management in a 3rd world country: check
Photography: check
Passionate about surfing: **** me, check

Please, someone here, go for the job. Let the rest of us live vicariously through you.

I wish I never clicked on this thread

See it every time I'm in Indo...white surfers looking down their noses at locals. I'm sure the rest of you see it too.

Talk/act 5hit, get hit. Some people don't realise how global that paradigm really is.

Gotta agree with ya, some people, not all, treat the locals like slaves. It burns me up as they such nice, friendly people.

That forum post is a good read. I would love to know how accurate it is and what rubbish was being spread by the the two culprits once they got home, I can only imagine.

I remember saying to the guy that ran out into the water and first jumped into the boat with us ,the one that didn't do the beating

"You my friend, and your idiot mate ,are in an absolute F8ckload pile of Sh8te !
(i have a more than mediocre talent for stating the obvious)

If Ray hadn't been there and mediated ........crab bait?

Sounds like you were a bit understated after reading that story.
Geezus....

Waves look good though. And what a show seeing those 2..

So how much would you do this job for - as a minimum ? Would you do it for nothing (live for free and surf perfect waves most days) ? $25k ? $50k ? More ?

Good question. I guess it would depend on the actual day to day workload. I've probably do it for next to nothing short term...alternatively I would do it short term for free and have what would be my wage donated to helping fund any local community projects; but long term I'd want to be walking away with some prospect of having saved some cash.

I know a couple of surf guides who work out of the Ments and the going rate is about $150USD per week/trip. All your food and accom is covered, and there's not much else to buy out on the islands.

These guys supplement their income by taking photos and selling them to guests.

Its definitely what you'd call a lifestyle job, guaranteed to fill your stoke levels but unlikely to pay the mortgage on that Beach Pad near Cott...
