Hello friends,

Surfing is my hobby and I am looking for an esl school which is near a good surfing beach (preferably not in bit smelly city) so that I can pursue my dream. I am open to suggestions of any country. Can anyone tell me if such a school exists and if possible the school�s contact details?

thanks for your help,
teawo.

On cities, think Huatulco, Mexico or Valparaiso (or is it Vina del Mar?) near Santiago de Chile. Good surfing I'm told in either.

I know a couple such places, but you didn't give you qualifications, so I'm not sure if you'd have a chance with them.

Trujillo, north Peru has quite a few work options for people with TEFL and some experience. And it is a combi ride from Huanchaco which is supposedly a good place to surf. Not that I'd know about the surfing itself, but is a good place to watch surfers!

Piura, Peru it's three hours from Mancora a world famous beach.

Thanks for the advice guys, I�ll check them out. I have a tefl and a degree, but not much experience, and my spanish is not great, although I am learning. Did the schools in Latin America generally require you to speak spanish fluently?

Nope, they don't really require you to speak Spanish. IN fact, they prefer that you don't.
