Your profile

Being the photographer at Surf Spirit, you will be responsible for creating content for our marketing department, shooting videos of all guests for the surf coaching video analyses and creating photo packages for each guest to purchase at the end of the week. You will also take care of our Instagram Stories 1-2 days a week with creative and high quality content. You will be in regular contact with our Social Media Manager. It is therefore very important that you deliver the agreed content reliably and on time in order to contribute to a relaxed workflow on site and in our German office.
Working in a Surf Spirit location also means providing an overall experience for the guests, enjoying all meals together with them and spending time within the retreat.

Why us?

About us

We are Dana & Nils from Germany. With our close friends, we spent a lot of time on the coasts of Europe. Our circle of friends is characterised by a passion for surfing, yoga, music and community. During our travels, we have always experienced incredible freedom. We offer weekly retreat packages, with all guests arriving on the same day. This rhythm creates a shared journey — allowing the group to grow together, deepen their surf and yoga practice day by day and truly connect.

What we offer goes far beyond an accommodation. It’s a curated experience designed to nourish body, mind and soul.
