Sea & Snow - the best of both worlds
18 year old Joe from Oxford has just finished his A' Levels and has decided to have a break from the books. "I've got a place to do music at Brighton and have deferred entry for a year so that I can take a year out.
"I wanted to do a snowboarding season and was looking for somewhere to do my instructor ticket. I found Flying Fish and thought their sea and snow instructor course sounded awesome - summer surfing and winter snowboarding!
"I've read loads of good stuff about Whistler and Sydney's supposed to be amazing. I'm flying out to Aus next month to do my Surf Instructor/Lifesaving course for six weeks, then onto Canada to do a six week Snowboard Instructor course. It's worked out really well because I've got a month off between the two courses and a mate of mine is going to join me in Sydney so we can go travelling together before I head off to Whistler."
Joe has just formed a new band in Oxford (they still haven't agreed on a name) and as lead vocals and guitar, we assume that the hills of British Columbia will be alive with the sound of music ...
Catch up with Joe next month in Sydney.
Sail & Ski, Surf & Snowboard – the great Sydney and Vancouver combo. This 12 week programme provides the best of both worlds, leading to qualification as a sailing, windsurfing or surf instructor and as a ski or snowboard instructor. This is the route to paid work all year round on the beach and in the mountains.
