Safari Surf has proudly hired locals and paid fair wages (30% over minimum wage on average) for nearly two decades now and helped those residents build their skill sets to be able to manage the business (except for the expat retiree, Sunset Cliffs legend, and Safari blogger, Peter). Safari has always had at least one or two female instructors, but with the resurrection of the Women’s Surf Adventures program and an awareness campaign on LGBTQ friendly surf camps, the surf school hopes to promote greater diversity within the space.
