We have just come back from a 9-day surfing holiday in Barbados and thought we would do exactly the same things if we were to go to this amazing island again! We booked surf lessons with Barry and his lovely wife, Christie arranged us the rental car and the accomodation. Everything was awesome with this "one-stop shop"! Barry is a... more

My Girlfriend and I had already decided that we were going to try surfing before we had arrived in Barbados. There are a few surf schools to choose from but our hotel recommended Surf Barbados so we decided to give them a go and booked a day of surfing..... and we are so glad we did. We had a hire... more

Every time I am in Barbados, I take surf lessons with Surf Barbados. Barry’s positive energy and love for surfing is infectious and Christie is well-organized and accommodating.

My first time surfing was with Barry, I didnt expect to get up but I did. I just did exactly as he instructed and it was a success. Barry even pulled me out when my arms were too tired so i could catch as much waves as possible. Was great fun:) more

All of us managed to stand up at some point although the children seemed to progress much quicker. Barry will pick you up from your hotel and drop off afterwards. He takes you where the surf is appropriate for... more
