This rocks. Tairawhiti Polytechnic in New Zealand (polytech is basically a university but for more technical courses) has developed an Applied Surfing Option in the Certificate in Leisure and Sport. This innovative programme offers a stepping-stone into a career in the sport, leisure, fitness & surfing industries and includes a NZQA accredited surfing course. This offers surfers an opportunity to focus on the physical application of surfing, including computer aided tools, meteorology, an introduction to surfing techniques - plus heaps of SURFING! Successful completion of the certificate cross credits to a portion of the Bachelor of Sport & Leisure Degree at the University of Waikato.

How awesome is that! Damn I'd be right into that if I was back in NZ. That just rocks hard. Click here for further information and contact details from the polytech.
