Work, Surf, Live in Paradise!

Join Us

Your Office Is the Ocean. Your Commute Is a walk on the Beach.

Trade your routine for a 3-months life adventure at the #1 Surf School in Punta Cana

Imagine waking up steps from the sea, surfing before your shift starts, and spending your evenings exploring one of the most beautiful — and underrated — surf spots in the region. Our Work Exchange Program gives you a private studio, a personal vehicle, unlimited surf, and a front-row seat to the Dominican way of life.

This isn’t a job. It’s a chapter of your story you’ll never stop telling.

Everything is Taken Care Of. All You Bring Is Your Vibe.

From your first day to your last wave, here's what's waiting for you.
🏠 Private Studio — All Yours: A fully equipped private studio in the village of El Macao, walking distance to the beach and school. Not a dorm. Not a shared room. Your own space.
🚗 Personal Vehicle: Your own set of wheels to explore Punta Cana, the island’s north coast, and beyond — on your schedule. (Valid driver’s license required to enjoy this perk.)
🏄 Unlimited Surfing + Equipment: Free surf lessons, unlimited use of our boards, and access to the school whenever you want. Whether you’re a beginner or a shredder.
🍽️ Daily Staff Lunch: A delicious lunch for every work day. Stay fueled through your work day.
💰 Sales Commission: Earn real money doing what you love. You’ll receive commission on every sale you generate, based on our tiered commission scale — the more you sell, the more you make.
🤙 Tips — Yours to Keep: Happy guests show their appreciation. Any tips you receive are 100% yours. Great service and good energy go a long way at Macao Beach.
🌍 International Community: Join a team that’s welcomed surfers from across the globe for over 16 years. Make friendships that last well beyond the 3 months.
📜 Reference Letter and Certificate: Complete your program and receive a formal letter of reference and a certificate of participation in tourism & surf operations.

A day in your life

This Is What Tuesday Looks Like

6:00 AM — You paddle out at Macao Beach as the sun crests the palm trees. The lineup is quiet. The water is warm. The perfect way to start any day!

8:30 AM — Shower, breakfast, take a short walk or even shorter drive to the school in your car.

9:00 AM – 3:00 PM — Your shift. You help guests discover surfing for the first time, coordinate activities, and capture moments for the school’s social media content. Feel the energy and satisfaction of interacting with exciting people from all over the world!

3:00 PM — Free. The afternoon is yours. Maybe you catch the afternoon swell. Maybe you meet the team for a cold Presidente at sunset.

On your days off Two days per week to see more of the Dominican Republic. Visit other secluded and less known places in Punta Cana and the rest of the country. Explore to your adveturous heart’s content!

Who We are Looking For

This Is For You If...

You’re energetic, adaptable, and genuinely excited to be part of something special. You communicate clearly in English (Spanish is a bonus and you’ll pick it up fast here). You show up on time, take ownership of your role, and treat guests and teammates with respect.

If you are eager to experience other cultures, learn from others and immerse yourself in a new adventure.

You don’t need to be a surfer. Both rolls heavily rely on Customer Service. You don’t need years of hospitality experience. You just need a love for the ocean, a curiosity about the world, and a commitment to giving your best during your working hours.

In return, we give you and experience and memories that you’ll remember forever.

Fluent English | Valid Driver’s License (for vehicle use) | Responsible & Reliable | Love for Ocean & Adventure | Spanish is a bonus
