Surf Instructor Jobs in New Zealand

Hi guys,

I'm heading to Auckland mid-October to start my WHV (12 months). But that's as far as my plans go atm!

I'm toying with the idea of working a Hospo job in a "surf resort"? over the summer (preferably on the warm North Island) before heading down to Queenstown in the winter for a ski season (or at least that is the plan!)

Can anyone offer any advice, recommend anywhere perhaps they worked on their travels? Is my plan of heading to a popular "surf town" and looking for work there achievable?

Thanks in advance !

What experience do you have? Raglan, Mount Maunganui, Whangamata are popular surf towns in the NI. Summer you'll be competing with university students so expect getting a short term job to take a while. Especially in popular beach towns.
