In short, Freights Bay really is the best place to learn to surf in Barbados! There are some days that Freights Bay is just too small for lessons, and on those days we usually go to Surfer’s Point, Inch Marlow, also in Christ Church. The waves at Surfer’s Point are also good for lessons and it is also a left point break, however this surf spot is affected by wind. Other times we also give lessons in Bathsheba at a surf spot called Parlour, this is great for intermediate to advanced surfing.

What' SUP Barbados: You may be wondering what all this talk about SUP is, well it is Stand Up Paddle(boarding) and one of the most fun, relaxing and social activities that we have ever tried. We started off our Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP) session on the West coast at Batt's Rock beach where the sun was just about setting and created a calming and serene atmosphere. Ryan and Mikie (owners and 'partners in crime') were there to greet us as soon as we arrived. We started off the session with a 15 minute beach instruction which allowed us to feel out the boards, understand how to use the paddles correctly and ask any questions we may have had; we were itching to just get into the crystal clear blue water and try SUP'ing! Once we got the hang of the boards and paddling, it was such a marvelous feeling as the graceful sea breeze passed through our hair whilst being able to chat and enjoy paddling on the water. As Ryan explains it, SUP is like your very own personal glass bottom boat tour whilst also getting a full body workout. What' SUP Barbados offers one and a half hour beginner lessons from $40 USD. This includes 15 to 20 minutes of beach instruction, plus a few minutes of water instruction to get comfortable on the board and then an hour paddle tour where we can hopefully get you hooked on the beauty, nature and benefits of SUP'ing.
