J-Bay South Africa

The Christian Surfers Leadership Program is a 5 month or 1 year, cyclical course that’s been designed to equip people with the necessary skills for surf ministry and life. The program consists of a 3-month training phase, followed by 2 months of hands-on mission experience. The Year program consists of the same initial foundational phase with a further five months of internship working within the CS mission to complete the 10-month course. The course has two start dates and cycles through the program from each date. Start dates are 1 Feb & 1 July.

Ready to Launch

An interns perspective: by Jess Klette

Being the 1st intern ever to do the program in 2009, I have been around to see it grow as well as being actively involved, on the staff, in the shaping of the latest version of the program. The Internship started off with a blast (Similar to the experience that good surfers explain about being spat out of a sick, thundering barrel…don’t worry girls, I too, have no idea what that feels like.)

Since then we’ve had an Afrikaans surfer girl, a local skater, a large Aussie, an amped booger and a snowboarder from the heart of the US. Each of us have enjoyed the course and as well as us being shaped for Gods purposes, I feel we have also shaped what he is doing through the mission of Christian Surfers in South Africa.

We saw a need to open the program up for those who were keen to join us for a shorter time. So together we took on the challenge of designing a new 5 month program to run in conjunction with the 10 month stream. It is packed with training, service, exposure and a whole lot of fun. The program is officially locked down and ready to launch.

We’re gearing up for an epic Internship 2012. We have a great couple joining our team, the social justice rebel Rehgert and his Californian born wife Vanessa. They’ll be running the Aleph Surf Foundation and helping out with the CSALT program as well. We’re amped and excited for what God is going to do and who He is going to bring our way.
