While both roles are part-time and related to surfing, a Part Time Surf Shop primarily involves retail and customer service in a store setting, whereas a Part Time Surf Instructor focuses on teaching surfing skills outdoors. The credentials differ mainly in teaching and surfing proficiency, and the work environments are distinct, with retail versus outdoor instruction.
