Surf instructors can teach several sports. However, the majority of surf instructors' time is spent teaching surfing. This activity represented nearly 80 percent of their work time. Then comes the teaching of longboard and stand-up paddle. Bodyboarding, which consists of surfing lying on the wave with a board positioned under the chest, represented less than five percent of the working time of surf instructors.
