Mike is holding an asi level 4 Master surfing coach accreditation. Raven Surf School is also an asi instructor Training Centre (ITC). Mike is an asi level 4 Trainer (the highest level attainable in the world) and is authorised to train others to be asi accredited surfing instructors.

Mike, Nicky and their excellent team put all their energy into making Raven Surf School a top surfing school for beginners to advanced surfers of all ages. We have run a Groms (kids) club for local kids since we began, producing some surfing national champions.

We are working with Bude haven School and cats ( Community Action Through Sports) on a project called urban surf to give some kids an opportunity to get into surfing and learn new skills and in the future maybe to be trained by Mike to be surf coaches.
