About Outer Reef Surf Travel

Outer Reef Surf Travel

As part of our family legacy, Albert began crafting surfboards and exploring the European coastlines in 1965 long before surf travel became mainstream. He journeyed across Ireland, France, Portugal, and Spain, often alongside fellow surf pioneers, discovering hidden surf spots and laying the foundation for surfing in Europe. His passion for shaping boards and exploring waves inspired the spirit of Outer Reef Surf Travel, where we continue to blend adventure with craftsmanship, taking surfers to incredible destinations worldwide.

Albert daughter, Gemma, a multiple British and European surfing champion, has carried on her father's pioneering spirit with her husband Dean. Driven by a passion for surfing and discovery, she has traveled the world, uncovering new surf destinations and immersing herself in diverse surf cultures. Her global experience and achievements bring a wealth of knowledge to Outer Reef Surf Travel, where she continues to shape extraordinary surf experiences for others.

For more than three decades, we’ve travelled the world to surf, compete and train surf coaches. We have met some incredible water men and women and been lucky to have helped develop experienced surfers and shared some essential technique and tips that help all surfers gain confidence in the ocean. This is how we have created Outer Reef Surf Travel.

We realised we had a huge advantage. Having traveled, surfed and stayed in so many countries at so many places, from your basic £5 a night back packers to top end locations such as Nihi in Sumba (Occy's Left). We have tried and tested them all. Working with National governing bodies and some of the top coaches and surf travel companies to give you hassle free surf adventures and internationally recognised awards though our coaching program and surf academies.
