Volunteers FAQs

Do I need to be a surfer to help out?

No. All you need is a great attitude and willingness to help ensure a fun and safe day for the participants. Being a surfer will help with assisting in the surf but is not essential. 

Do I have to get wet?

No. There are a number of volunteer roles that do not require you to be in the water. You can participate with roles such as cooking the BBQ, setting up the event etc.

What qualifications/skills do I need?

There are no specific skills required to help out. There will be trained Team Leaders about on the  day to coach you and help you in your volunteering role.

What do I need to bring? ​

Bring your swimmers, towel, hat, sunscreen, a warm jumper.

Bring a wetsuit if you’re planning to help in the water.
