  • Surf instructor: minimum requirement: capable of traversing left and right on unbroken waves, water safety/lifeguard training.

  • Surf assistant: minimum requirement: participate in water safety briefing Sundays at 8.30 AM.

  • Check-in: Check in attendees, provide sun blocker/hats, hydration, take charge of giving/collecting rash guards/wetsuits.

  • Beach Assistant: organize and lead warm-up/yoga, games, beach clean-up.

  • Photographer/Videographer: no experience required, just capture some memories of the day.

Please arrive 60 minutes before the lessons starts to prepare yourself and get ready for the kids checking-in 30 mins before the surf lesson starts at 11:00 am.

Frequently asked question
  1. Do I have to be an experienced surfer to volunteer?
    Everybody can volunteer, even if you have never surfed before. We have certified surf instructors that provide the surf lessons to the kids. Your role will be to ensure that the kids have a fun day, staying hydrated and energized.
  2. What do I need to bring that day?
    Please bring a bathing suit, a towel, food and beverages for yourself. 
  3. Where exactly at Beach 67 is this at? 
    It will be directly at Beach 67. We have two stations:
    1. Directly at Beach we have two tents (white: Brooklyn Surf Club,  orange: Sierra Surf School) marked with a "Surf'n Smile Day" flag. This is where the surf lessons take place.
    2. Breakwater Surf Shop at Beach 67 subway station. This is where you will arrive when taking the A-train. Dell is the owner of the surf shop and he can give directions. 
  4. Will there be a sign?
    Yes, we have big flags at our meeting stations that say "Surf'n Smile Day".
  5. Will volunteers get shirts to be identified as volunteers? 
    We got some hats for all volunteers that will protect you from the sun. We chose a neon pink color that will make it easy to find each other at the beach.
  6. Can I bring my kids, even if they are not registered for the surf class?
    Absolutely, the more the merrier! There are many other kids around, so it will be a fun day at the beach. Please be aware that there are designated surfing and swimming beaches with life guards at Beach 67. There is no swimming allowed in the surfing area in order to prevent surfers colliding with swimmers.
