Dear seabreeze-board,

my name is Thomas and I am 20 years old and live in Germany. Last year I finished high school and acquired the Senior General Secondary Education. In February I am going to finish my civil service and on the 16th of March I will fly to Melbourne and do “Work and Travel” for about 4 month. In September 2011 I will start studying food technology in Germany.

My question is if you know some surfing-clubs where working for board and lodging or a small salary for example as an assistant or caretaker is possible.
I could for example work in the service, clean the equipments, rooms and beaches or I could for example cook for the team.

I firstly got in contact with surfing during my holiday last year. Also my father was a good surfer when he was 25 years old and I am alway fascinated when I see kite- and windsurfers on the beach.

My “dream” for the next 4 month is that I can work in Australia and improve my surfing skills.

I would be very grateful if you could give me some advices where I could apply!

Looking forward to hearing from you, I remain with best regards,


Thomas

If you are in Melbourne, Alba's surfclub is great..

They don't hire though.

Hey,

I mean windsurfing =)

As far as I know there are no resort style windsurfing clubs in Australia.

March to September is the off season in Western Australia, (apart from Winter storms).

Not sure about wind in the other states, but Victoria will be cold.

Just have seen a little bit of Melbourne but up to know I can say that it is the best town I have ever seen.


The weather is perfect, everything is new and clean, a huge number of great cars, everybody is relaxed and friendly ..

The next days I will keep on trying to find a job and then I hopefully will get to the beach.

Welcome Mate

What? all day?

Thomas I think you might have got off the plane a bit early. Are you sure you're not in Perth?

Yes guys but remember that a good summer day in Germany is colder than a winter day in Melbourne!
