Surf Instructor Testimonials

Ali, Level 2 ISA Instructor

"Completing my ISA Level 1 & 2 with Outer Reef Academy in Bali was absolutely life-changing! The 4-week program in Canggu was perfectly structured - from mastering wave theory in tropical classrooms to practicing rescue techniques in perfect Indonesian barrels. What impressed me most was the instructors' incredible depth of knowledge from 25+ years in the industry. They didn't just teach us to surf better - they taught us to read ocean conditions, manage diverse groups safely, and handle any emergency situation with confidence. Six months after graduation, I'm now head instructor at a luxury resort in the Maldives, earning triple what I made in my previous corporate job. The ISA certification truly opens doors worldwide - this wasn't just training, it was my gateway to the ultimate surf lifestyle!"

Sarah, ISA/ILS Instructor & Lifeguard

"Starting my instructor journey at Freshwater West in Pembrokeshire was the perfect foundation for my surf career. Training in Wales' challenging conditions - from gentle summer rollers to powerful winter swells - prepared me for anything the ocean could throw at me. Outer Reef Academy's comprehensive approach is unmatched - I graduated with ISA Level 1 & 2, SLSGB Lifeguard certification, SUP instructor qualifications, and 40 hours of intensive practical training all in one program. The academy's promise of 100% job placement isn't just marketing - within three weeks of graduation, I was placed at a surf school in Portugal. Two years later, I'm now running my own surf camps across three European countries. Best career investment I ever made!"

Tom, Professional Surf Coach

"After 15 years as a weekend warrior surfer, I decided to turn my passion professional through Outer Reef Academy's Portugal program. Training along the Algarve's world-class breaks with internationally certified instructors was incredible, but what set this program apart was the business mentorship. They taught us marketing, customer service, insurance requirements, and how to actually build a sustainable career in the surf industry. The Rip Curl sponsorship and industry connections were game-changers - I had job offers before I even graduated! Now I'm coaching at multiple surf schools, running private lessons, and just launched my own surf photography business. The academy equipped me with everything needed to succeed, not just the technical skills but the business acumen too."

Emma, International Surf Instructor

"Choosing Outer Reef Academy's Sri Lanka program was the best decision of my life! Training in Weligama's tropical paradise while living in that beautiful colonial homestead was like a dream. The 4-week intensive covered everything from ISA Level 1 & 2 certification to advanced rescue techniques and SUP instruction. What makes this academy special is their global network I've now worked at Outer Reef partner schools in Bali, Portugal, and Morocco, all thanks to the connections made during training. The instructors' expertise from training over 4,500 graduates worldwide really shows in their teaching methods. Three years later, I'm still part of the Outer Reef family, and they continue supporting my career development. This isn't just a course, it's joining a global community of surf professionals!"
