Coaching Level 1

Surf coaches are fast becoming the norm at New Zealands most popular surfing beaches.  Long gone are the days when you grabbed the dunga from under the bach and simply 'gave it a whirl'.  Using the services of a surf coach can speed up the learning process so that you start having fun much quicker.

Surfing New Zealand delivers a ISA Level One Surf Instructors course to teach people the basics of coaching beginners.  The course is accredited by the International Surfing Association and recognised throughout the world.  This is the minimum requirement to teach surfing on all New Zealand beaches as a registered SNZ Surf Coach


Surf coaching is fast becoming a serious career path.  The explosion of surfing as a sport means that coaches are in high demand.  Just like skiing, it is now common place to get a lesson the first time you go to the beach.

The Course

The course runs over two days and is generally held during weekends.

1. The course duration is 16 hours. It is run in 4 modules: the role of the coach, surf safety, performance enhancement & practical surf coaching outdoors.  Attendees need to bring:

- A pen
- A wetsuit 
- A surfboard 

Morning tea and lunch is provided. Accommodation is not provided.

2.  The course has been designed in conjunction with Surfing Australia. It is internationally recognised as a level 1 surf coaching course by the International Surfing Association (ISA) - the World Governing Body of Surfing

3.  There is only about 2 hours water time. The course can be held in any location. Having some fun little waves is ideal but not essential for a successful course. 

4.  Attendees sitting the course need a basic level of surfing ability (e.g. can take off, trim, paddle and cut back). If anyone attending can't do this we will have a chat to them during the course and work out a way for them to up-skill - as surfing ability in an important part of the course.

5. A
Surf Lifesaving Community Award
is now part of the NZ course so it is not necessary for you to achieve your Bronze Medallion Beach Lifegaurd Award (although if you have this already and it is still valid then you wont need to take this part of the course) The Community Surf Lifesaving Award involves a 200m run/swim/run (not timed) and a board rescue, as well as a presentation on general beach safety. 

6.  Once you have attended the 2 day course you will need to log 20 hours of work experience with an Approved SNZ Surf School and record these hours in your ISA Practical Assessment Workbook. You will also have to undertake a 1st Aid at work/CPR certificate. A number of companies deliver these courses eg. St Johns. Completed workbooks are then sent to the Surfing New Zealand Development Manager, along with a photocopy of your 1st Aid certificate. A SNZ I.D. card is then issued as proof of attaining the Level 1 ISA Coaching Qualification. Your official ISA Level 1 Coaching Certificate will be sent to you direct from ISA Headquarters in California.

The course costs $550 (gst inc.) per person based on a minimum of 10 people.  

If you have attended a SNZ Level 1 Coaching Course in the past you will need to refresh your qualification by updating to the new ISA Level 1 qualification. You do not have to sit the course again although it is highly recommended that you do. You may use recognised prior learning (RPL) to fill in your Practical Assessment Workbooks if you have been actively teaching surfing in the last 3 years. The refresher course fee is $300.
