    Description

    -- short-notice requests very welcome --

    We are looking for fun and open-minded people that want to join our team and help us out at our Wakepark in Arambol, Goa, the first and so far only Cable Wakeboarding-Park in India. We are currently five people, consisting of myself, the owner (Lalit); two workers and two other volunteers (Nikita from Russia and Eva from Austria). And we would love to expand our little family :)

    Our area is very peaceful, surrounded by nature and just a perfect place to chill. We have a small lake, where we teach wakeboarding and sometimes go for a swim, on very hot days :) As a place to sleep we can offer you one of our huts around the lake, with beautiful lake view from the terrace. We also have hammocks to chill, a slackline and always good music. In exchange for some help from you, we offer you accommodation, 2-3 meals a day (breakfast (Best Poha from Didi ;)) and lunch) / ingredients and transport (shared scooty). And obviously good company! You also get the opportunity to learn wakeboarding or improve your wakeboarding-skills if you already know how to do it.

    You can read below what we expect from you, but in general, it doesn't really matter so much what exactly you do and how many hours a day, as long as you are motivated and want to give something back. Then we are really excited to welcome you here at the Wakepark as a part of our family:))

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    The coolest thing is probably that you can learn cable wakeboarding here:).
    Also, if you like meeting new people, you will have a really good time with our small team and all the adventurous people from all over india that come here to learn wakeboarding.
    We would also love to show you our lifestyle here in Goa and in exchange you can tell us about your life in your country :).

  • Help

    Help

    What we expect from you really depends on your skills and interests. There are different tasks that you can help us with:
    - At the moment we really need someone who has experience in videography, editing and social media handling and marketing and can work for us as a content creator. If you know how to do that professionally, we can also offer you a small salary.
    - If you are interested and stay for a little longer (also to learn wakeboarding yourself if you have never done it before), we can instruct you on how to be a wakeboarding teacher and you can help us and give lessons. Which may sound harder than it is ;)
    - We are also looking for creative people, who like crafting and designing and want to help make some changes around the property to make it more beautiful. We are very open for all kind of ideas and projects :) There is always something to do around here, like painting the walls, designing the rooms, helping to build mud houses and similar things.
    - You can also help out in the kitchen and prepare food for the team if you want (and learn how to make chapati:)) or whatever other tasks are needed.

    If you want to do something else than spend time around the wakepark and go wakeboarding (when there are no customers), you can of course explore the town Arambol. There is a lot of stuff do to here like going to the beach, spending time in cute restaurants and cafes, going shopping, hiking, trying other water sports like surfing or kitesurfing, meeting new people, going to parties or other events and much more. Arambol really has a lot to offer and there are so many beautiful places to explore. We are also really open to showing you some places and exploring together if we have time :)

    Can possibly accept pets

    Yes, pets are very welcome. We love dogs :) But please only bring them if they are friendly and well trained. We have enough stray dogs already that love to destroy our cussions;) And they are obviously not allowed on the bed. We already had a case where a dog destroyed one of our mattresses and we don't want that to happen again. They should also get along with other dogs, as there are a lot of stray dogs around the property.
