Do you like coconuts? John John? Barrel? Well here
is the opportunity of a lifetime!
The World Surf League has created a new
position and it has your name all over it. No not your
name I guess. You are caustic and wry. You
are sarcastic and… wry. So not the real you and definitely not your
Disqus Account you but maybe the metaphorical “you.”
The job title is really and truly Ambassador of Stoke and
Leisure and since I can’t out-write the WSL I won’t even try. Here,
in all its glory, is posting.
The World Surf League is searching for someone who is both
extremely stoked and leisurely to join us in Hawaii for six
weeks.
If you can appreciate the unreal excitement of top-notch
athleticism and the simple elegance of a Hawaiian palm at the same
time, if you can laugh, adventure, experience, seek, try,
celebrate, taste, and take pictures, then, well, keep
reading.
What is stoke?
Stoke is the excitement you’ll feel when you:
See the best surfers in the world getting barrelled on
surfing’s most legendary wave
Drive around finding the most un-freaking-believable scenery
in all of Hawaii
High-five John John Florence
Surf Hawaii for the first time…or surf anywhere for the
first time
Walk out of your current job/parents’ basement knowing
you’ll soon be in Hawaii for six weeks
What is leisure?
If you stopped reading two lines ago in search of something
chiller and more fun to do…well, come back, cause you’d be
perfect.
What is the World Surf League and is this
real?
Yeah, it’s real. We put on surfing’s Championship Tour,
which takes us to Australia, Brazil, Fiji, South Africa, Tahiti,
California, and Europe before it ends with a grand finale in
Hawaii. Every “winter” we post up on the North Shore of Oahu, the
birthplace of professional surfing, for some amazing events. (PS If
the waves get big, like REAL BIG, the Pe’ahi Challenge will run at
a wave called Jaws over on Maui when the surf is 20ft+. Google it.
And if this goes down while you’re there all we can say is – you
lucky dog you.)
Role/Duties:
“Hot damn! I am so interested in this job I’ve practically
already kicked down my boss’ door to quit but like…what do I have
to do?” So glad you’ve asked, friend:
You’ll be the the head of a newly created department within
the WSL – the department of Stoke and Leisure – to be run out of
our Hawaii office, the WSL event sites, and a prime-time Airbnb
where you’ll be in charge of two ultra-important initiatives: being
excited about whatever is happening and chillin’ the most.
Requirements:
Stoked. You are required to be stoked about life, surfing,
palm trees, açai bowls, pro surfers, coral reefs, crystal clear
water, not working for The Man, mind-blowing sunsets, the
occasional coconut, and more. If none of those things elicit stoke
in you, then you need not apply.
Ability to maximize use of all-access pass at
highly-attended event. If you enjoy being a fly on a really,
really, REALLY cool wall, you’re gonna love this thing.
Skilled at ‘gramming. We are going to load your Like cannon
big time, but it is you who must light the fuse. Waterfalls.
Parties. Cliff Jumps. Famous people. Hammocks. Lava. FRUITY DRINKS.
Jet ski rides to places you didn’t even know you wanted to go.
Brace yourself for plenty of comments along the lines of “I hate
you,” sent from within the confines of cubicle walls.
Energy. You’re about to do a bunch of stuff. Unbelievable
stuff. You’ll want to amaze your friends, family, grandkids, people
you’ve just met, and total strangers with one knockout highlight
reel of The Whole Thing. Six weeks in three minutes. We’ll hook you
up with lots of hi-res footage, music, and a world-class
editor-guru, but the main ingredient will be your experiences. So
nap on the plane, hit the ground running, and don’t stop ’til
December 20.
