Ticket to Ride

Ticket to Ride - learn to surf, go on an adventure tour and give something back by doing community development work.

The placements

Ticket to Ride offers three main surf and travel options - all are suitable for people who have no surfing experience.


You can spend 3 months learning to surf in South Africa, getting internationally-recognised instructor qualifications. At the same time, you can get involved in local youth development projects, teaching township children.

Or you can take a unique African road trip where you can learn to surf and do community development work in a month.

And for a career break with a difference, take a 3-week adventure 'surfari' trip from South Africa to Mozambique, combining travelling with unparalleled surfing instruction.
