Testimonials

Emma, 35, Netherlands:
"Before joining, I had been surfing for 7 years and I was struggling to improve. The level of coaching in surf camps was usually disappointing. I didn't understand what I was doing wrong and surfing was becoming frustrating. Everything changed when I joined the Surf Academy. I improved more in 12 weeks than in the previous 7 years, and it completely transformed my surfing. Not only that, I met amazing people during this time, many of whom I have met again in the water. Best money I ever spent!"

Jake, Level 2 ISA Instructor

"Completing my ISA Level 1 & 2 with Outer Reef Academy in Bali was the best decision I ever made! The 4 week program was intense but incredible from learning wave theory in the tropical classroom to practicing rescue techniques in perfect Indonesian barrels. The instructors' 25+ years of experience really showed they didn't just teach us to surf, they taught us to read conditions, manage groups, and handle any situation safely. Six months later, I'm now head instructor at a resort in the Maldives earning more than I ever did in my office job. The international recognition of ISA certification opened doors I never imagined. Outer Reef didn't just give me qualifications they gave me a lifestyle!"

Sophie, ISA/ILS Instructor & Lifeguard (Trained in Wales)

"Starting my instructor journey at Freshwater West in Pembrokeshire was perfect for building solid foundations. The Welsh conditions taught me to handle everything from gentle rollers to powerful winter swells. What sets Outer Reef Academy apart is their comprehensive approach I left with ISA Level 1 & 2, SLSGB Lifeguard certification, and SUP instructor qualifications all in one program. The support didn't end at graduation either. Within two weeks, I was placed at a surf school in Portugal, and now I'm running my own surf camps across Europe. The academy's 100% job placement rate isn't just a statistic - it's a promise they deliver on. Best investment I ever made in myself!"

Marcus, Professional Surf Coach (Trained in Portugal)

"After 10 years as a recreational surfer, I wanted to turn my passion professional. Outer Reef Academy's Portugal program exceeded every expectation. Training along the Algarve's consistent breaks with world-class instructors was incredible, but what impressed me most was the business side - they taught us marketing, customer service, and how to actually build a career in surfing. The Rip Curl sponsorship and industry connections opened doors immediately. I'm now coaching at three different surf schools, running private lessons, and just launched my own surf photography business. The academy didn't just certify me as an instructor - they equipped me with everything needed to succeed in the surf industry. Five years later, I'm still part of the Outer Reef family!"
